I had mine done by R-Tech (same engine as yours but non Anni) and the difference was very noticable especially with the torque. In the mid range from 2k-4k rpm it went like a rocket. It should feel quicker than the 150bhp but you have take into account the 6 speed box as the ratios are different. Worth checking the pancake pipe (between the turbo and intercooler) as they can be the cause of boost leak. I had this on mine on the rolling road and it was 185bhp with the map! Once that was fixed it was probably knocking 200bhp and that was with no other mods  :wink:

No probs. Nick is very good and knows his stuff. He will find your missing horses under your bonnet and give you new ones from the map!!  :grin:

Of course, not declaring changes like this to insurers is asking for trouble....

Asking this in the mk4 section is like asking if a membership with the AA is worth it in the mk2 section  :laugh:

lol

I honestly dont think there is another car you can buy that should be remapped from day of purchase like the mk4 GTI! VW were mad to not do it as standard or offer a warranty version, they would have made a killing!
