Remap Time!

Revo are good the best idea is to look on the Audi seat forums see if they have group buys going I know the Seat have a good deal going last time I looked.
There a load of companies doing bits for the VAG engine. Least you've got a load of potential tunning turbos etc and you can be talking 350hp without going intenal and to silly money.
Matt Black old engine had 420hp or so and the price was quite reasonable when you looked at it. HE was sating there kits in the US allowing 850 or so hp.

I'm a member of Audi-sport.net and there are group buys available. The main problem is that AMD, a site sponsor, are a few hundred miles away.
My VAG specialist mechanic is an agent for Jabba, but as I've said I like the switchable nature of the Revo. IIRC Jabba remaps get more performance, but that's obviously a trade off.
I've heard mixed things about Star Performance. Some people swear by them, but there is the nagging doubt of a Cupra R they supposedly broke beyond repair while remapping it.

i had the custom code on my a3 excellent map very smooth delivery and excellent gains went from 150bhp to 197bhp not a bad price either

just be careful- you can obviously map out masive ammounts of power, but you may lose lots of longevity as you retain the standard internals.
I suggest working on the internals and treating it like an N/a engine. Strenghten it up with forged conrods, cams, pistons etc. Replace the turbo with a larger one from a similar engined VAG eg. the Audi TT 225 tubo's are larger as i recall. It will allow you to run standard boost and settings and produce far more power. THEN mess with the boost and fueling settings- that should be the last phase of tuning, certainly not the first!
I would suggest tuning concept http://flash.tuning-concept.info/#, speak to a guy called Si if you can- he's well up on VAG engines. Hope that helps.

Stock internals are fine upto huge power the problem is people pushing the orignal parts ie turbo injectros pumps to far.
The 225 turbo is better gut might as well go aftermarket and get some injectors remap etc and you can run huge power.
Running 225 turbo isn't the only difference the 225 bigger block engine has also the remapper would try push that turbo anyway.
Lovly but my guess that damage is caused more by other facots not the remap itself unless it went wrong.
The VAG racing cars run high power out of amlost stock parts without issue so they must de decient enough.
MERCEDES CLS AMG
realistically the standard 1.8T bottom end is good for about 250bhp and the Audi S3 // TT lump about 300bhp - after that through my experience you need steel rods and forged pistons
BMW M4; S1000 RR
As he's looking for a power improvement that'll be used day to day.. I think fueling, ignition timings and boost are the ONLY things to do.
@AndyA4..
I personally don't rate tuning boxes, the settings can be quite harsh on the car compared to a remap to suit you. To each his own, you will still see gains and the other improvements when remapping. Change the oil more reguarly and the engine will live forever.
