I'm thinking of chipping my Golf and i have heard a few stories regarding the 150. I have been told that the turbo is weak and prone to failure and that the clutches wear out every 6k due to the extra torque.

Has anyone on here had one done? What were/are your experiences

Only PD 150 owners need respond

Cheers Ted

I had my pd150 remapped (extra 30lb/ft) not too long ago and immediatly noticed the clutch starting to slip (most noticeable in 5th, 6th 1500-2500rpm). Car has done approx 40,000 miles.
Was the car better on fuel?
