coilpacks, boost leaks... thats about as far as my knowledge goes so I'll leave the rest for someone else  :embarassed:

Get it plugged into vag-com see if it throws anything up  :smiley:

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

horsepower sells cars
torque wins races

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.
