I take it your referring to a 1.8T 150 and not a 2.0 16v 150.
Id expect a 60bhp increase on a 1.8T...

1.8t 150 bhp, there has been much talk by an ex employee of AMD who told the truth about them on audi sport, which then resulted in AMD wanting to take the bloke to court, having spoke to a few people in the know about the company i would never let my car near them

Im not saying this ex employee is right or wrong about amd but you have to question his motives--- Was he sacked? Did he have something against his old boss? Amd must have been confident he was lying if they took him to court. Im not planning on having any work done by amd so it doesnt relly matter--- but they have a graet reputation with german car owners that i know--- their demo cars are pretty damn good as well.
I dont really know much about the quality of their work but i wouldnt judge them on the opinions of an ex employee-- im more interested by the opinions of their customers-- which have mainly been good from what ive read

Why not??? Most chips/remaps offer a 40bhp increase, i bet the exhaust would give around 10bhp due to the turbo. I reckon 200bhp is easily attainable.

it would be extremely hopeful to make 60 brake from a chip and exhaust evn on a turbo imho. Not saying its impossible but i wouldnt be confident of that sort of gain.
Im only expecting around 35-45 increase with induction, chip, exhaust and reduced supercharger pulley

1 he left as he wanted to, not becasue he was sacked
2, they went to a legal procedding i belive, where he showed them all the remapps that he had ever done on his laptop, and what they actully put out, and what BHP AMD were telling them it was putting out
3: iver head that the AMD trial remapp that work for 3 hours or something run as a remapp, then after the 3 hours reset the ECU to less than standard power, fooling you into having the remapp as it was so much faster than you car is now

So what happened in the legal case then--- did he win or did amd...they are still doing well so i guess amd won. Would be interested in the findings of the court case before i buy aqny thing else from them

Why did this mechanic not leave as soon as they asked him to defraud customers. If he is telling the truth then he is just as guilty as everyone else at amd. I wouldnt employee a cock like him as a mechanic if hes telling the truth

i belive from chatting to the guy for a short time, it got worse from the time he was working there, until he felt shite for defrauding customers, bit harsh calling someone a cock for actully standing up for himself and trying to help customers

If he knowingly defrauded a customer then he is a cock. I work in retail and if my boss asked me to knowingly screw over a customer i would hand him my notice and go straight tot he local paper. Especially if i had evidence that i thought would stand up in court.
This guy probably fitted the chips onto people like your mates car-- i would say that makes him a cock
