They were never supposed to have 180bhp, it was 177bhp; but on average they have 160-165bhp.
And no you can't gain the 30-40bhp cheaply.

The GTI 180 has extra magic pixie dust added at the factory.

Off the top of my head its:
- Slightly tweaked cylinder head for better flow
- Different inlet and exhaust manifolds to improve flow
- Compression ratio
- VVT

No they weren't as most car manufacturer refer to power in either PS or most widely used now in KW
So 180PS is 177.6BHP or 132.4KW
