go for the remap but with being a non turbo the gains are minimal  :smiley:

not a waste of money but me personally i would sell the 2.0 an use the map money and what you get for the 2.0 and buy a 1.8t could even find 1 already mapped  :wink:

Neither will give you massive gains, but a remap would be the best option. You won't see any real gain in peak power but you should feel better throttle response.

In my opinion it's really not worth the cost, the 2.0 is a pretty poor engine and I wouldn't want to waste any money on it.

the 2.0 will never be exciting, Sell it and buy a 1.8 or 1.8t both in standard form will be far quicker than the 2.0

I loved my 2.0 as it was very smooth, but boring as hell.

A remapped 1.8t is very exciting for while and will keep you entertained until the need for more starts kicking in.
