Starting at 115 I don't think it's too much to ask to be honest -

Hoping to get at least 5 from a decat - 120ish - maybe 10 from SDis - 130ish - so I don't think 20 from a remap is a tall order to be honest.

Keep this updated mate with any faults you find....

Dan... remember a 115 is actually a remapped 101 done by the factory. 140 is safe but hitting over 150 things start to go pear shaped and you are at the top end of what a standard turbo can handle. People have gone upto 170 but the engines didn't last long and after rebuilds everyone turns it down.

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!

There is always the exception to the rule, it's difficult getting it right all the time, but it was meant to be a generalisation. Fantastic if you can still run 170 but that is far from a cheap and easy upgrade as I am sure you will admit.
The real point is that the bhp increase of SDi's de-cat and remap is actually about a 40+bhp jump on standard as 115 is already a remap.
