running higher boost will show up weak pipes so check that first

All the re-map does is expose weak links which were there before the map, but you didn't notice because it was running low boost etc.  ;)

AUM's do have a known thirst for new coilpacks, however it'd be best to get it VAGCOM'd first.  ;)

What petrol did you have in the car?? remaps seem to need higher octane fuel than normal 95ron.
