Can anyone tell me what differences they are between the 150 and 184bhp.. is it a different turbo or just a remap?

2.0 tdi 150 v 2.0tdi 184
- Thread starter golf gti dude
- Start date
From the basic research I did :
The 184 has the following over the 150
1. Bigger turbo
2. Multi Link rear suspension ( torsion beam on 150hp )
3. 312mm front brakes ( 288 on 150hp )
4. 272mm rear brakes ( 253 on 150hp )
This seems to indicate only one intercooler for the 2.0TDi motors

Interesting 
my local scrappy has a 184 2.0 tdi in at moment and is stripping so might buy the turbo... only dilema is it will void the warranty I think

Most brake upgrades are quite easy to do if you are using the parts from a higher spec version of your car.
288 to 312 on the front is easy - bolt on conversion - lots available and pretty cheap to do.
253 to 272 on the rear is easy - bolt on conversion - a little harder to find
IIRC - the Cupra brakes are 345mm up front - that needs 18" wheels to clear them
Last time I looked the 345mm brembo front brakes on the VW range were still holding silly money.
Agreed - upgrade to the 312mm fronts - and add Brembo HP2000 pads at the same time.
Very good setup for instant bite and powerful brakes.
That depends.
Some of the VW range use exactly the same caliper & pads on the 288 and 312 brakes.
If you got hold of the correct caliper carrier and a pair of discs you would not be altering the OEM caliper/pads/fluid etc.
And to be honest - I don't think some of the mechs that they employ would ever know the difference.
I changed them on my Ibiza at 8 months old - and they were never spotted or commented on during servicing.

Anyone got a link to see if the calipers are the same on mine than a 184bhp

Is it worth spending 2k to trade my 150 tdi in for a 184 bhp??

Do you really think you'll get a noticeable difference in terms of performance?
The FR150 is the only warm hatch I've ever had (no hot hatches either) and I think it will be probably the last. I've had it since October and I can think of many occasions when I could really put it to work on a bendy A road. So much traffic and slow drivers afraid to overtake those that are even slower. It's a shame but driving ain't fun in the South East.

184 will have the multilink rear suspension set up.
DOH ...I should read the whole thread......

To me - the 288mm brakes are marginal on an Ibiza with 143hp.
I would not want them on a Leon with more than 150hp
The bigger brakes are much more confidence inspiring.
Indeed the bugger turbo makes a difference but with a remap and air filter change, u can easily reach the 184hp figures from the 150hp and brakes can be swapped easily either.
however i personally do prefer the Multilink rear suspension over the torsion bar, car does have noticeable difference on the ride and very minor characteristics difference too.
Just try them and see which one fits you more
