Try the search function. Been asked looooaaaads of times

had mine done and its worth doing--gets rid of that flat spot in the rev range

[vRS_Pagey]

Did swmbos last year, installed a Shark performance map via an STS unit. Excellent and well worth doing IMO, as Maxitrol said, it has virtually eliminated the flat spots, it now revs hard to the red line with a much smoother almost common rail curve.  Back to back tests at sensible speeds shows it to be 2-3 mpg better on economy also so win, win!

I also went with shark and was very pleased but did chuck out some soot under hard acceleration. My turbo's bearing also started to go so put a hybrid with custom map from shark. The GT140 turbo is a weak point on the car.

Booked my 08 plate in at carbon lets hope the turbo lasts I drive within the limits and inky tootle around with occasionel heavy foot

AMD custom remap on mine, plus a decat, getting somewhere near 200BHP  although AMD's RR is very generous.

Best bang for buck!

175 hp is typical for a stage 1 tune, we offer custom maps for £250 inc vat with free Rolling Road runs

With my stock turbo I was seeing circa 180BHP with AMD's map, bit more now though. ;)

I regulary do oil changes with proper spec oil, lett the engine get up to temp before thinking of gunning it anywhere, and most importantly I let the car idle for 15secs+ after every journey, even if it's after a short trip. These help prolong the life of the turbo whether stock or mapped.

Also don't the turbo to the max by chasing figures

When I got my stage 1 remap (Shark) within months my turbo bearings began to go and I never drove it hard so it was either a coincidence or as a result of the map?

It all depends on how aggressivly they map it to be honest, but it did fail (not blaming the map before anyone starts) and I upgraded.
