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 :)

Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

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!
