Go for a 130.  There is so many on the market that you'll get the car specced just how you want it.  A simple remap will take it to 170bhp/280lbs so it'll be quicker than a 150 straight away.  Nothing other than a remap is needed.

I'd say get a 150  :evil: :cool: although I am biased  :rolleyes:
Check out Rhyso's thread to see what a remapped 130 is like, R-Tech are the boys, cheap prices too  :wink:

Why the pic of the broken clutch?

Is that common on the 150 or just tdi's in general?

Just because with a remap these derv engines generate loads of torque.
