I have a 150 running 220hp and its got 127k so far no cam issues. FYI the cam fails due to the tappets failing.

From what I've read VW changed/modified the tappets on the later models late 52 plate onwards should be fine.

They are great cars - the engines on the 130 and 150 are pretty much the same. However for power the 150 is much better comes with a FMIC and bigger turbo as standard. The 150 remapped will make around 190hp from just a remap.

Cheers
