As well as the increase to around the 180bhp mark you should also see an increase in MPG and it should drive a lot smoother.
I’ve been told 175-180 bhp for the 140hp

This is very useful @DieselJake. However, my question remains unanswered; shall I go stage 1 with the autobox.
Don't know a lot about them but good reviews? Can you not phone around and find out if anyone else does it all for you for slightly less money?Stealth racing quoted £275 + VAT for stage 1
Gonna go with the egr delete for now.

I would say yes.....BUT I don't know how much torque the gearbox can handle safely as I know some can't handle it that well.

That's expensive , most add £50 to a £200 Stage 1 file and a few don't even add as a file is a file .
My father paid a little over £400 for Stage 1 , egr out and dpf gutted .
That's right delete kits aren't needed the egr off in the remap cancels any signals so the egr remains closed .
Blanks and delete kits are needed / desirable if the egr is stuck open and or O rings are leaking.
What's your engine code ?
No idea, how can I find out ?

I went with a place called Quantum Tuning for my mapping as I really wanted a handset so I could remove the maps and put it back to standard if need be.
I've got three maps on mine, Stage 1, Stage 1 + EGR Delete and finally Stage 1 + EGR Delete + DPF Delete.
If I go away I can also remove the map off the car totally so it can't be driven.
They quote £350 on their site but only charged me £300 over the phone as I spoke to the boss directly. The other plus to this is that if I sell the car I can remove the map and they will supply me with a new one for small fee.

So you both using it in the 2.0 tdi motors then?
I’m just weary of putting it in the Mrs 170tdi as it’s a problem some engine as it is with the pdf weekly blocking and needing a thrashing.
With a DPF you’ll have to use the semi-synthetic as the mineral based oil will kill it.
