Oh
Speaking of filters. I had a Pipercross in my TDI and after few months it killed the MAF.
There was a lot of info about the original filters on VAG range and in every case the conclusion was the same : If you not goint BIG TURBO etc there is no need to change the original filter.

Thanks for all your comments very interesting.
I've had my car mapped now with the following mods in the end:
*Universal intercooler with some hard piping
*EGR delete
*Straight through 2.25" exhaust (cat and backbox removed)
Car made 200.3bhp and 346ft lb - just wondering if people think these are reliable and realistic figures?

I would take it with a pinch of salt. 346lbft is really high for a stock turbo pd150. That kind of level is produced from hybrids.
If the torque figure is high then Id say the bhp is also, as bhp is a calculation from torque.
The intercooler wouldn't of given any power over stock and the exhaust would have given a small increase.

Get an exhaust gas temperature probe put in and monitor the temperature before the hot side of your turbo. I don't know what the maximum allowable temps for yor turbo is but when you find out you can add fmic misting and water methanol injection into the intake manifold and reduce the temps. You should be able to get the tuner to ask the ecu to let the engine produce more power safely or at least if it is maxed then you will be able to safely monitor the turbo. You would not believe the difference that inclines make to temps.
Having read thru this thread I would tend to agree with the main upgrade being a remap.
I fitted a green panel filter 5 years ago and clean it regularly (as per instructions) and have had no problems.
I had a custom remap shortly afterwards and it read: before 157bhp, after 193bhp/292lbft.
I have just recently got a cat-back non resonated Milteck exhaust fitted but only 'cause my original exhaust t finally gave up the ghost after 7 years!!!!!!!!
Anyway, enjoy your mods
Oh and last month I fitted the allard egr delete pipe, to keep my engine clean but had the dreaded elm light come on - hay ho

hello im new to the forum. i am looking at getting my standard fr150 remaped as its become apparent that that's the best mod to give it that extra boost. bruceR was it just an air filter from standard when you got the figure of 193/292lbft??
Hi George, nah mine was 157bhp with green panel fitted.
Once I had the custom remap she was sitting 193bhp.

Had none for 3 years with the remap but have noticed it just starting now & then
Exactly 
I thought if I was to remap I would need an updated clutch to deal with the extra power, but as you have been fine without the upgraded clutch I'm more confident that I wont need one.

You can't just say you won't need a clutch haha! I've seen people on here with stage 2 maps about 220 I think with a standard and he says slip comes and goes, on the other hand people with just stage one get slip too, it will come down to the condition of clutch etc
Just pointing out I had this happen to me after my remap
allthough I supose it was actually the DMF failed
jamming solid at an angle.
