That is not true... i have not toned anything down on the mapping side from my 170.

150 has been hit my many many many cars with SDi's and so far there has been very little reported issues once the timing advance that was originally put in was reset and the fuelling was reduced a smidgin.... that was about 2 years ago.

i do agree that 150 is the top of the turbo's range the smoke of a 160bhp mapped car is substantially greater than mine on full chat!
