remap would probably be your best option

A remap is pretty easily done, it will reduce smoke when done right and you should see a small mpg increase when driving normally. As reguards injector nozzles they are the part that control the amount of diesel the injector will spray into the chamber. You can change your own nozzles for bigger ones no problem and still use your own injector bodies. If you are thinking of changing injector nozzles do that first and then get the car remapped to suit the new nozzles. A remap is a good idea for any diesel car, it really gives them a new lease of life. Thumbs up for rocking it in an audi 80 too
