Matt, the reply was to Piggy, i couldn't be bothered to edit out your reply lol.

A lot of what people seem to forget is it's about HOW the power and torque is delivered.. if it all comes in one massive lump you'll get that 'kick' but it's going to ruin the clutch, a more progressive power delivery with the same peak will get you there just as fast without the clutch rapeage..

Ruan, you did have to use mechanical sympathy though, it wouldn't have last long if it was matted from 1000rpm on that VNT lol.. Again though, because that torque and power was kept up high it's less strain on the clutch..

One last thing, all of this XUD's are easier to tune is balls.. if you are good at mechanical tuning then it'll be easy for you but it is not easier than plugging it in and flashing a map to a HDi.. people might tend to forget too that a HDi can make near enough 170bhp on a decent map and standard turbo with just adding a FMIC.. If you wanted that sort of power from a XUD you'd be looking at big turbo territory, FMIC, 11mm pump etc..

Everyone has there own personal preference to which engine they prefer.. (Personally i prefer my '6 lump better than both but... ) but the fact is they are both very capable engines when they've had the proper mods and time put into them
