The Canadian W450 799cc CDIs have 40 HP sure enough, but 74 Ft-Lb of torque, more than the W451 999cc gassers at 68 Ft-Lb. It is torque that gets you to speed, HP is only a derivitave that sustains speed.
I'm glad someone knows what BHP and torque are. A remapped CDI will have more torque than a Brabus Roadster and will easily match the acceleration of a petrol smart.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Jetta TDI still had that BlueTec system as it was a joint operation between several automakers. The reason why its already in the Toureg. The Jetta is frankly quite large, I wouldn't call it a compact anymore. And its size would be more than enough to accomodate the system.
Without that system, I dont think the diesels would pass EPA standards for particulates.
And I was wrong The Next TDI: VW Reveals 2008 Jetta Bluetec Diesel
Old news, but proves the point.
In reality I see that as plus as then in the future, their is less required mantinence as no expensive "fluid" would need to be added to the car.
