hi i have not done my car yet but intend to get a phase 2 remap done, basicaly upping the ecu software and turbo power output. i have done a fair bit of research through forums and you can get 195bhp out of it with apparently no clutch or gearbox problems, the tunning company i am getting to do mine are so confident with this remap they will come out to my work or home and carry out the work there then they can take the car back to workshop to rolloing road it, obviously the clutch and gearbox willl wear out faster then normal due to there being more pressure on them but i doubt it will make much difference. if you have the 170 engine as standard you are able to get 220+ bhp out of it but that is not recomended as the torque can apparently damage gearbox and clutch i suppose it depends how smooth your driving is, hope this helps, cheers mark
