Ref tuning the 115, the 130 has a larger turbo and different injectors so power gains will be much lower.
The same is true for ANY car you modify. All components are likely to wear out quicker if you put more stresses through them - it's hardly rocket science.
Also, please tell me where you can get a DMF, Clutch and slave cylinder for £400!!!
