I would also consider this mod to my mk 4 PD130, would there be any longterm damage?

No there should not be any long term damage. But if you constantly hammer it around all over the place then yes you will start wearing out parts on your car but then this would happen if you drove your car like a twit with no mods.

Getting the car remapped to about 170 - 180 bhp (for the 130) is safe and does not put pressure on engine and especially the clutch. Any more than that and I was told that the boost pressure and stuff like that would need to be altered and i really didn't want that.

My advice is get it done... you'll love it. If unsure then speak to a decent remap dealer and they will let you know what is done and what level you can safely remap to. In that way Will at P-torque is great as he will give you honest advice and knows what he's talking about

Wolverhampton you say? Hmm... I'm thinking xmas present here!
As for boost pressure, I'm guessing that a mild increase isn't going to bother the engine too much... and thus i would say 200bhp is possible on a PD-130, or is that wishful thinking? :laugh:
