I managed 8.2s with my HDi at stage 1, with about 125bhp (or if we are using the un-conservative willy waving power figures we love these days, it was a 135bhp stage 1 tune 
)
With stage 2 my car did it in 7.2s... (155bhp, or willy waving output, 170bhp) I could maybe have got it down to 7.1s with a slightly better launch. Wheel spin is obviously a big issue with stage 2 on the HDi 1st gear haha
Not bad given it's three gear shifts for a HDi vs two for a GTi6...
I too don't think the 0-60 time is so relevant, just like a lot of metrics, but it's interesting none the less
