Thinking about what car to get after i sell my Uk Classic Scooby and think i've decided on modifying a Golf TDI to around 180/200 hp and 300lb Torque.
Anyone had experience in this area? How much would one be looking at to do this? Would 200 require a new turbo and intercooler? Ideally what is the best figure with just a remap?
Also is it best to get a 150 hp jobbie and go from there or just get a cheaper 130 example??
I've had a Fadia VRS which really i only sold to lose the finance payments but i also got a bit bored so i'm after more power this time and IMO the Golf is/can be a much better looker 
Thanks in advance..

the 130 and the 150 will only remap to 170 - 180 I think, I dont think the 150 remaps further as its just a 130 engine with a different factory map,
Novaneil has a fabia with the same PD130 engine that has 220 ish bhp and 360ish tourques 
he has a better turbo and so on though

I did have a feeling that 180 was the limit after being on the Skoda forums for a while 
I suppose 180 is enough though? Just a remap then for that amount? Is REVO still the best place to go?

The 150 has bigger turbo and injectors... My mate just bought a 130 GT TDI with 80k on it, lovely car. I own a 130 TDi Ibiza (same engine) and its brilliant. A remap will see you to 165-170ish, the 130 engines usually put out around 145, as seen by most who have a before and after RR job. I'd suggest a new uprated clutch if you remap as it will drastically shorten the life of the standard one. Before a bigger turbo I'd be looking at FMIC/exhaust systems etc, that should get you up near the 200 mark. Hope that helps

Ooooooo sounds a bit like a lot of cash On the Jabba site they say max of 165 for the 130 engine?
The prices of the Golfs are all over the place! What's the best i could get for sayyyyyy £3500?

PD150 has the same injectors, the PD100 (as found in other cars) has different injectors to the 130/150.
Go for the PD130, more reliable than the 150.
A stage 1 map on a PD130 will see 165-180bhp and 270-300lb/ft (real figures, not bullshit figures given off by lots of tuners), a stage 2 (you will need FMIC, zorst and filter will push a little more so 175-185bhp upto 320lb/ft but you will need a new clutch and flywheel.
You nearest good tuner is Awesome GTi in Manchester, but to go a little further, see Paul at RS Tuning in Leeds, he always finds loads more torque than any other tuner! Also his maps are run by the 2 quickest TDI Ibiza's in the UK
Edit, to back up my comment about the injectors, here is a screen shot from ETKA, showing the same part number for the ASZ (PD130) and ARL (PD150)

Forgot to say, a mates PD130, is in stage 2 and that has 174bhp and 315lb/ft! Which will more than likely be better than the 191hp and 281lb/ft someone said about earlier

just got a pd 130 and love it, mods have started already too but leaving the engine until summer to sort out after the impreza is done got a cold air kit waiting to go on, il be doing forge fmic, possibly a different turbo/de-cat and then have it mapped. decat and exhaust are meant to make a big difference.
they rekon 130 is most reliable, an to watch out for the pd150's between 01-02 due to cam problems. after that theyre fine
130 and 150 have diff turbo but same injectors. up to about 170/180hp is about standard clutch safe. the 150's tend to make about 10hp more then the 130 when mapped. after that your looking at fmic/hybrid turbo and better brakes to for over 200hp
my mates got a load of generic maps i could have for cheap but like i said im leaving it for now, he rekons he got 200hp out of a 130 a few weeks ago, but i dont know the complete spec on it so cant comment its only a rumour.
ps why you thinking of selling the impreza, AGAIN?
