well ive personally never driven an HDi remapped or otherwise but ive been told the gains are very noticable. As for the XSi, i went from a pretty sluggish rover 214 to this and i love it! im not the kind of guy that rags it round everywhere because i love my car to much lol but its got the power there when you need it  obviously its a long way from a GTi or 180 but its still quick enough for me

If you had a choice between the HDi or XS
Go for the 2.0 HDi, ive had both The HDi was made to rival the XS!
It may have the same power but the Turbo makes it get there faster
Also China Blue FTW
