Not sure about diesel interest in this site, but this is to show that not all diesels are slow.
Recept:
-Volvo V70 -00 2.5TDI (phase2, but still with old VW engine)
-mild performance cam
-Holset HE221W turbo (wastegate)
-3" DP + "free flow" pipe
-big IC + pipes
-Bosio R520 II (7-hole)
-Turbotec live program with 1,8bar boost (<2bar EMP)
-modified clutch with SMF + SRE components
Got about 240bhp, 500Nm.
Changing those Bosio nozzles to DSS Ultime2 was the only mod and it got us to this:

Peak figures are now 281bhp, 594Nm. Gain was through the whole rev area, so maybe those Bosio RACE2 nozzles are bad indeed. Red line is bhp, green is wheel power in kilowatts (peak 181kW, 246hp).
With DSS Ultime2 there's less smoke and I bet some 10-15hp more could be achieved with remapping, while smoke would raise the same level it was with RACE2.
With minor mods it should go over 300bhp...

Currently boost is 1,8bar, EMP 2,0bar.
Current performance:
80-120kmh 2,8s (3rd gear)
100-160kmh 7,0s (4th gear)
100-200kmh 14,0s (4th and 5th gear)
Consumption is about 5,5L/100km (~43MPG) containing 30% town, 70% highway.
Times were taken from a video of the dash and those are an average of five takes each.
I was only consulting the build as I have some previous experience of diesels and 2.5TDI in particular.
