Haven't had the car too long and I love it but I hate knowing there's extra power there and not using. I'm just wondering on people's opinions on a stage 1 remap for this engine and places to go? Hazzydayz do theirs via Celtic tuning with the following

177bhp - 220bhp (+43)

184lb torque - 230lb torque (+46) (312nm)

I have a slow throttle response when I set off and I'm hoping this will improve that? I heard the s Tronic and 1.8 are the worst combo for this delay! Have you had yours done? Opinions appreciated!
 
I have Bluefin on my 1.8, it has increased the go factor in all departments except one! Low, midrange and top end are all there, but throttle response is still a bit slow when the car takes off in 2nd gear, there is a small lull before the horses arrive to whisk you along. It is only in second gear when trundling along.
There is no way I could get back to driving it under standard power.
