Hmm.. Saying that though i was reading over a thread on TDOC on the OM606 engines, Apparently the bottom and valves etc. are all good for up to about 6,000 rpm's before they start to throw rods? But I'm guessing the engine design is completely different to the BMW tds engine.
I've been spending a lot of time looking at the 330D's and 525D's and it seems they can get decent gains without a massive amount of work BUT they are £££ to buy in the first place if you want a decent one.
I'd like something RWD and Turbo'd but without the massive fuel costs
Yeah Ruan, That does seem to be the general consensus with most forums unfortunetly.. Except for the finnish/swedish etc.. who seem to love the big boost, big power dervs!
EDIT: From a bit of reading i think those tds's have a 10mm pump and people usually upgrade them to a 12mm but not too sure what the '12mm' is from, however from the ones i've seen so far they keep them semi-electronic, haven't found one so far which has gone mechanical injection
