I notice that not all trannies are born equal

, some are given 2.5 DI lumps rated at asthmatic 70 ps and some at a feeble 76 PS, even more get 85 PS and a few 100 PS, So what is it that is fitted to these lumps to rate them differently?? are there simple mods I can do to improve the power of my feeble 76 Ps lump, I have already scrapped the EGR bits but still have the two piece manifold EGR feeder pipe, Square Air filter box.

Do you learned genttlemen have a list of modifications available for folks like to use to get a few more horses from my engine ?

Cheers R

Dump the diesel and fit a PETROL 130ps....you gonna need lpg to make it an economic proposition. I get 17+ but its less than £2 a galllon.
On a good day I can hit 105 with a diesel CRv on the back. By the way, my SWB twin wheel tranny is 24 feet long.
