1.4 TDI 50-70mph times in various states of tune:

Standard 1.4 TDI:
50-70 in 4th > 7.3 sec
50-70 in 5th > 9.3 sec

Digital Tuning Box Only (On Auto Calibration Setting - Made by Powerklick):
50-70 in 4th > 5.4 sec
50-70 in 5th > 7.4 sec

111bhp Remap Only:
50-70 in 4th > 4.7 sec
50-70 in 5th > 7.6 sec

111bhp Remap + Digital Tuning Box (On lowest setting 1 (7 being the highest): * Lots of soot!!
50-70 in 4th > 4.4 sec
50-70 in 5th > 6.0 sec

For reference a remapped Fabia 1.9 TDI (not vRS) has:
50-70 in 4th > 4.2 sec
50-70 in 5th > 6.5 sec

As you can see from the above results the off boost perfomance very good with just a digital tuning box... I would not recommend using both mods together due to the masses of soot produced, you will soon be pulled over!

Perhaps a solution would be an RPM cut at 2-3k to turn the digital box off as it is not needed after this point?

It really does show there is masses of potential for the little engine!

Good to see someone adding to the "what's the best way of tuning an engine?" debate.

At the end of the day, a proper custom remap should get the maximum out of any given engine / turbo setup, minus a certain allowance for safety and reliability. The fact you're getting lots of soot with remap and digibox shows you'll be lining yourself up for a knackered EGR and/or turbo in pretty short order, plus the extra strain on the drivetrain and clutch could well be just that little bit too much...
