Looks amazing. So what have you done mated the TDI to the insight gearbox?

I have just picked up a Lupo 3L this weekend. I didn't realise the turbo didn't come in untill 2000rpm i really could not tell when driving at all although i really have to take it our of auto to climb some of the very steep hills but the diesel is a hell of a lot better than my regular 1.4 100bhp petrol Lupo. I have to be at about 4,000-5,000rpm to pull up the hill very steep hills well in that. The 3L is 830kg what sort of weight is your insight with the TDI in?

re-gen braking and electric assist would be ideal for me as i go up and down some very steep hills on most trips.

Are you able to control the engine map as with the 3L?
