ECU upgrade/remap?

Hi all

got my Octy yesterday afternoon, and loving it!
Its 53 reg Silverline 1.9tdi (90bhp), with nearly 80K on the clock, a little high but has full service history so not worried. As part of the deal, I got the garage to do full service inc cambelt (read on hear about a squeaking sound coming from cambelt area on startup, which this had when i took it on test drive) also went back and asked them to swap water pump and i'd pay for the pump -£35ish for peace of mind

, it also cam with 6months tax, 12months MOT and 12months warrenty.

when i picked up the car, they'd replaced 2 front tires... and also replaced front disks and pads and rear shoes, which was even better news to me, car should be fine for a fair few miles before i need to do anything other than an oil & filter change

anyway, what the best way of getting a bit more power from the car? can anyone recoomend an aftermarket chip? a friend suggested Diesel Tuning by Dragon Performance UK more diesel performance power and torque as he had a kit on his old BM... or maybe somewhere like Tunit Performance - diesel performance tuning with over 1000 applications ?? I'm not going to go down route of swapping out engne parts, just want somethinig quick and easy to give some extra bhp an tourqe.....

thanks

Dragon, or a custom remap should get you to about 110 to 120bhp (Elegance power).
