Re: 1.8 T gti question
If you have a 150 HP engine you will come up about 10 hp and 25 lb ft shy of a 180 hp engine as the 150's in the Golf's use a K03 turbo whereas the 180's use a K03 sport (which has a K04 compressor, IIRC).
A kickass upgrade for you is a K04 kit as it's generally a direct bolt on and will give you the 30 hp you lack between yours and the 180's as well as another 30'ish (with appropriate software, of course).

Re: 1.8 T gti question
A chip on the 150 should put you right around 150 - 155 hp at the wheels (the 150's were grossly under-rated, again IIRC) whereas on my 180 a Revo 'stage 2' took me from 160 to 170 HP at the wheels and increased torque by over 50 lb/ft.
