Going to view a golf with the intention of buying tonight as yet another sale fell through on an ibiza hybrid. Its an 02 TDI 130 on 110,000 miles which has been mapped to 170bhp. Im hoping to get it around 200-210. What mods would i need for this?
Straight through exhaust
Front Intercooler
PD150 Turbo? Are these like for like or need modifying, worth spending money on or is there not much difference between the 130?
Remap again
Clutch eventually

Should this see 200 or am i going to have to hybrid it?

Thanks

I have looked around for a couple of weeks now mate and cant find anything. Couple of Ibiza 1.9tdi Hybrids but both sales fell through! not many fabia vrs' about for my money so its only a golf left really.
Thanks

Hopefully it should be ok at 200/210 bhp. I would love a hybrid but cant justify paying £700+ for it so im hoping to get 200ish from a PD150 turbo map, fmic, exhaust. anyone think this is possible?

Well its already got a stainless back box so i would take the exhaust off and get the cat and silencer cut out and pipe welded straight through.
Fmic would cost me about £150ish
Remap £150
PD150 Turbo Approx £200?

If i get it to 195/200 like people are saying hopefully the clutch will be OK

Yeah it will pass with out a cat.
Needs to be a diesel, I live in Spain so will be driving over at least once 2000miles each way! Even with out this i normally do about 10-15k a year. Not bothered about 5 seater hatchback, Not really bothered about 200 but i have seen golfs with 180-190 with a map and exhaust just trying to get it a little higher with out going the hybrid route

Would love that but its about 350miles away from me, plus insurance is expensive and tax and repair bills (My dad used to have the same car, now has e92 330d)

Would love a bmw or cars like a 182 its just insurance are raping me as it is. BMW repair bills are too expensive, and i need a diesel (previous post, i do 10-15k a year and im driving to spain and back in a couple of weeks.)
