A&Q about 350Z
Q:
ive got a 115bhp tdi and contacted CELTIC TUNING about their £300 remap with some extraordinary results, they reckon they can push 165bhp from my little iddy biddy turbo just with a remap?? anyone heard of that much before??
A:
Yup, and they can chip the 140bhp 2 litres to 220bhp according to some places
Although they were restricted to 140bhp for a reason, VW couldn't economicaly build a gearbox strong enough to handle the torque.
A:
You'd probably need to think about an uprated clutch as the torque increase will be even more than the bhp increase! My brother in law recently had his PD110 remapped, not sure on the power/torque but it's quite an increase and the (admittedly high mileage) clutch isn't very happy!
A:

hmm, like to see that in practice...
as i would 165 from 115hp.
You'd probably need to think about an uprated clutch as the torque increase will be even more than the bhp
and the brakes too!
A:
It can be done, fella I know has a MK5 105bhp diesel mapped to 165. My Mk2 8v is just slightly quicker out of the stalls but once into 4th gear he reels me in.
It goes well up hills aswell.
A:
115 to 165 seems just about plausible, but 140 to 220!!
A:
The clutch should be fine, my bro i law runs a Allard tuned AMD hybrid turbo 130pd that uses the stock clutch annd its been used on track for well over a thousand mile, been to the ring and regularly towed ribs out of the water !
As for the gearbox not being strong enough...The later 6spd have hollow mainshafts to increasde the strength..Hes had no problems what the transmission whatsoever.

Bear in mind that not one has ever HAD 140bhp, every one i've ever seen or heard of dyno'd has had 155-160bhp.
A:
Thats odd, because i have not heard of one person on ukmkivs saying this!
The most i can tell people have got, is the high 180s. Even with a AMD turbo upgrade, the power is estimated at 210hp.
A:
ditch the mesh out of the maf, itll feel faster still lol
when i was mucking about with my pd130, most of them were making over 130hp on uk roller. i put that down to german horses being bigger
A:
seems a touch high TBH, and the 115 has the VNT15 turbo which does not like too much on upgrades, the shaft is thinner and weaker, and tends to snap
now if you had upgrade the turbo before hand I'd say go ahead, with the right intercooler
A:
you need a bigger turbo, intercooler and injectors to hit 220, i would have thought
