Thinking about getting my 1.8T remapped at AmD. They claim they can get me another 40hp simply through a 3 hour remap on their rolling road giving me a total of close to 220hp. Apparently it will improve responsiveness in the lower revs as well. Sounds all a bit too good to be true. Anyone else here done it? Would love to hear of experiences either good or bad. Better yet, if anyone could post some pre/post dyno results for the 180hp 1.8T (AJL) that would be great.
Other then being a natural skeptic at the promise of 40 more horses, I wonder if this will put extra strain on the engine, especially the turbo. I subject my car to a fair amount of city driving and would worry a bit about frequent turbo temp cycles. Would love it if someone could persuade me not to worry and to instead delight in the pull of an additional 40 horses!
