It was all done via the odb port and although there are mixed opinions on if Audi can detect it if it's put back to standard, you should realise that anything the remap touches, pretty much the whole drive train, could have its warranty void.
Also, if you are putting 20% extra load on all components they are going to wear quicker than normal.
But... It's significantly quicker!
Agreed, but, as Im currently driving a CJSB 1.8 TFSI 132KW, and quoting SSP 606:

Weight Reduction measures (1.8l TFSI engine)
In the case of the third generation of the line of EA888 engines, a reduction in the total
weight of about 7.8 kg was performed. To achieve this, the following components have
been optimized or are used for the first time:
The cylinder block has been fundamentally redesigned. The main objective was to
reduce weight. The wall thickness is reduced from approx. 3.5 mm to 3.0 mm. In
addition, the function of crude oil separator has been integrated into the cylinder block.
In total, it was possible to gain 2.4 kg at the cylinder block to the motor of the 2nd
generation. Consumption by internal friction was also reduced. The main measures
taken for this are reducing crankshaft bearing diameters and improved fixation of the
balance shafts.

makes me think, that probably increasing the power output by mapping, might be not so good idea...
