wagon v5 owner here ! 

 

no difference in power between saloon or wagon, they share the same everything about from the rear seats and boot etc

it has a slightly wider track and different rear shocks to accomodate the extra load it could carry over the saloon.

 

I would get a full service done. You should be hitting 0.9 bar which should be about 220-221bhp model. Also open up the passenger footwell, some 10mm bolts and check what ecu you have. There are 4 options available on these. The sticker in the middle E3 etc is a start then the reference code should start with a A... The ones with a 800-01 at the end have a more aggressive map on that the others. 

Power gains:

Ecu tek or Eculabs only options to keep the existing ecu - Eculabs is open source and better and has more toys, about 420-550 depending on what set up you have

Also in terms of power,

 

Your standard td04 turbo is capable of about 280bhp.... i think this makes a very fast classic when boosting to about 1.2-1.4 bar 

Upgrades:

VF28 £200 very good turbo 

VF35  £300 even better 

VF34 £400 even better
