Don't debate, just do it! I can't think of a single argument for buying a VAG TDI (or TSI, TFSI etc) and not re-mapping it!!! Easier to drive, better throttle response, more flexible, often smoother, sometimes a bit better economy, oh, and maybe even a tad quicker too  :party:

May be worth upgrading to GTI brakes which isn't expensive but you don't need mega brakes for a sensibly driven road car. If you just stick to a stage 1 re-map then brakes and suspension will cope as standard, then just replace as money dictates unless bits wear out on the car anyway and you have an ideal excuse........ :happy2:

Do and die, and don't ask why?  :signLOL:

Seriously, I had my car remapped within the first three months since I had it new.  I wanted to let my car settle in for a thousand or two miles.

Boy, did it make a difference!!!  :driver:

I think with the TDis you can in some cases expect to get 15-20% more fuel economy in addition to torque gains....and it's all about torque!!!  :evilgrin:

I've had 4 TDI's (2 TDi 140's) and have remapped them all. Without fail, all of them have been great. Extra power, torque and enhanced economy = no brainer :happy2:

Generally you would see an improvement of between 25% to 40%. So that is 130 to 145bhp and probably up to around 220 to 235lbft.
