Think there is a diesel sub forum in the mk4 section, have a look in there.

Decat on diesels actually loose you power but the turbo spools longer keeping the torque in for longer . I have proven this and so has Rhyso.

AGF is the non-PD 110, 180 is a tad unrealistic without spending £££. I'm on 180 in a 130 with quite a bit spent. 

Chips wont give you anywhere near the same power as a remap.

sorry a remap is what i ment lol, i read that the remap gets 137bhp if i can get another 20bhp on top i will be happy with that, just looking for good power mid range
