Never had a Passat, but I did have the Skoda Superb 130PD. Exactly the same car, just a slightly longer wheelbase.
Best car I've ever had, miss it every day.
It was remapped, so it was surprisingly quick. Such a comfy car too. Easy averaged 55mpg+ on a run.
I'd have another in a heartbeat.
The Superb is an even better buy imo. Even more room inside, and more gadgets. Only downside is, they didn't do an estate.

I have a Passat B5.5 pd130 engine with a stage 1 map, I was thinking of making it stage 2? Does anyone have ideas what I would need?

My b5.5 pd130 wagon is rocking on with 236k on the clock and it's still performing well. Best car I have ever had, don't see it going anywhere soon.

not sure what stage 2 is, but turbo max is 180bhp. After that hybrid turbo,intercooler,clutch etc, not really worth it unless you can second hand. should see 230-250bhp.
