    Remap for more power (Tell your insurance!!)

    Exhaust wise well it's a diesel... But I have found if you spend extra on getting one you can get a nice sound.

    A remap is really the only way to get more power.  From a 90ps model I think you'll be up to about 115ps.  It uses different injectors and turbo to the 110ps hence the lower power increase.  Of course you could add those things to get more power but the cost adds up and it's probably not worth it.

    At 17 you'd have to check if your insurance would allow a map though.

    As for noise, a decat doesn't really make much difference, there is only one other box in the system but that's the one you'd be best off changing.
