I was looking at the a3 tdi as well but was wondering how much it would require me to get around 400hp and good mpg with the diesel? I'm guessing a ecu remap for DD and one for speeding?

The thing the TDI is you can't get quattro wig it. Just front wheel drive. But then again once you put a turbo back exhaust, larger injectors, meth, turbo, and tune you wont care because you will be buying new tires and two are cheaper than four.
