Received my 1.8t pancake pipe and jubilee clips, just waiting on my 50mm silicone hose now to attach to the PD150 red turbo pipe!

Also did a power run earlier, 4th gear slightly up hill and had 155.6g/s air flow at around 4,400rpm which equates to 194.5bhp??? My car isn't mapped as far as I know though...does this sound right or will it be the extra grunt required for the slight incline?

How much BHP should you have? Any mods?

Hey mate, I have the PD150 Cupra TDI so should have around 150 as standard. Have heard some of these cars have 160-170 from standard but never 194bhp?

Current mods engine wise are:

Cold air feed to original airbox
Cleaned out inlet manifold
Cleaned out and blocked off EGR (not deleted yet)
Catch can
New lower and upper pipes from I/C to EGR

Is g/s an accurate measure of bhp (when using the x0.8 conversion)?
Also I'm getting around 1.5bar boost (21psi), is this standard for the PD150?
