[QUOTE="Mafulat, post: 714014, member: 27911"] let's just say... :65: .. you don't necessarily need the powerkit to get the extra boost.. I felt that this diesel stock, eventhough with the ultra efficient 8speed ZF, is rather sluggish and feels like a lunking big beast compared to the similarly engine+8spZF F30, which is zippy and eager to go or stop without much heft. to give it a little bit of boost, you can always opt for plug-n-play (no warranty issue) tuning boxes which you can also set your own preference on how much of a boost you like according to your driving style. They usually give you a modest 10% to over 25% boost in HP and torque with a variety of smoothness in delivery. I opted for DTUK CRD-T boxes for both my 2.0d and they work like a charm without maximum boost and consumption is a hint better. on top of that, there's this other thing called the 'pedalbox' that changes the characteristics of your accelerator pedal to give you the 'perceived' experience of more responsive drive. both boxes give you a noticeable difference in power delivery and drive, really good combo to have. do check out F30's forum where people regularly do group buys on the DTUK and PedalBox and they are compatible across the series range of 2.0d cars, with/without the PPK. oh, both boxes combined costs less than half of that of the PPK. but it'll be another awesome boost to have the PPK as well as both the boxes as the DTUK does come with a setting designed for PPK usage.
