yeah no not true... but it is a diesel it'll have a little bit more fuel injected and more black smoke if it's not remapped properly ( unburned fuel) it'll also give you less economy unless remapped properly.
A set of PD130/PD150 injectors & PD130/150 turbo can remap up to around 170-190BHP.
However these cars are getting on for 20 years old plus so any weaknesses will show up faster once mapped
Some decent diesel tuners worth contacting for advice/prices are; FADR, PDParts, and Darkside Developments
