increase speed?

hey guys. Is it possible to increase the 0-60 of a 406 2.0hdi ? Iv looked breifly into engine remaps etc. but cant find straight answers. I really want to keep the pug but need more speed. Its the exec model so has all the luxurys i want and is a good size car. all its missing is speed. Any thoughts?
