I know its partly to do with emmisions too, and the turbo is pretty small so its not laggy and is good for town driving (but who buys a DERV to drive round town anyway!?) but still, 90bhp from a 2 litre engine is damn poor imo!
TBH 90bhp from a 2 litre engine isn't that bad, look at the Americans and their 4 & 5 litre V8 engines making 200bhp
True but that's partly due to their rubbish cheap petrol lol.......plus I don't think Peugeot is American! :think:
Also look at vag diesels from the same time.....150 from a 1.9 engine for example....still meets emmisions regs and does better mpg too! And even they look crap by todays standards.......like the new ford ecoboosts - 125bhp and 56mpg from a 1.6 petrol! :o
