An AGU can be remapped but since they have a KO3 (not S) turbo you wont see more then 190 brake generally speaking.

The KO3s is a straight swap turbo so if you want more power its best to invest in one of those with mods then get a remap to see up to 240-245 at top whack.

Hope that helps mate :)

I would have thought you would have needed a few more things, new dv, induction kit, exhaust system. Im not a tuner but I have been through the whole new engine buying mods and remapping....either way, good luck!

If I'm correct the only difference between mapping an agu to any of the others is the ecu in the agu is non obd comparable (can't be mapped through the obd port) and has to have the ecu removed and chipped. The chip then makes it obd comparable and can then be re-mapped

If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me ;-)
