Upgrading my AJM (PD115)

Hey guys!

I'm driving a Bora with AJM (PD 115) engine. Current mileage is 229tkm. It's stock so far, I have a PD100 (almost the same as PD150) inlet manifold with Darkside Racepipe waiting.
Well, the reason I'm posting here is that I want more power.
I like Fab176s old setup a lot. I'm aiming for similar numbers.
But the main problem is my budget.
Would be new H beam con rods necessary? It think I should rebuild the block at least, precisely because I think when I'm ready to modify it, it would already hit the 250k km mark. Next thing. The clutch. Sachs clutch + SMF would be over 1k€, is there any cheaper solution?
I'd be okay with less power, but then I should noticeable cheaper too.

Also thinking about getting a custom remap first, is there a remapper in central Europe/Germany you'd recommend me? ryanp is too far away

TIA!

Big power costs big money, I thought about it too, I could get 150bhp for around another £300 but to get 170-180 would cost me way more, big power = big money.

That's sad but true.

Does someone know if it's the turbo or the nozzles which limits more on my AJM?

AJM turbo is the same as ALH, AHF
it's a VNT15, on AHF (110hp) engines it reaches 140hp with a tune.

I think I'll go with a GT1749VB + Forge FMIC + Remap.

Does someone know if the Forge FMIC fit on the GT1749VB? I think the turbo outlet is the same on GT1749VA/VB because the kit is especially for PD 130 with the VA...
