yup it can be mapped but as its at as low a bhp as that i would recommend new filter's as you can gain that much loss from 143 to 168 just by filters alone if you want more considered a k&n and an uprated fuel pump 170bhp+

sounds like a lot of work and cost m8

the cost would be in the remap as for the k&n 30 to 50£ uprated fule pump up to £90 and that would give you a big difference but as for the fuel pump is yours a diesel or petrol??

diesel m8 still need to keep warrenty too !!

K&N are crap in the VAG family mate, you need a Green Panel filter (about £40)

I had my 150bhp Leon remapped to 200bhp & 330lb/ft torque.

The only thing you may need is a new clutch if you get a generic map, as the torque is normally more than the standard clutch can handle (if you get a custom map, you can ask them to limit the torque to 300lb/ft).

Sachs racing clutch fixed the slip, but cost around £700 !!

its an automatic m8 and this company your talking about were do they hang out

btw did you find much of an increase in fuel consumption

arrrr a k&n will still help but to gain anymore bhp you would need to up rate the turbo anything from £300 to £600 and personally i don't think a remap will benefit you as diesel pumps fins wear out so their is your biggest loss in bhp

been over this a hundred times every one said to me i need a panel filter for my scooby but every one thinks of a k&n as an after market job k&n also do panel filters and just to add i had a green panel filter and exchanged it for the k&n one and my bhp was up by 7% and the scooby grunt was alot louder

Where abouts in the country are you and i will see if i can find you a decent tuning specialist.
I looked into this for my own VAG engine a while back, but was advised not to do it on my vehicle as with my milage and age of the engine it would cause problems.
My mate who does all my servicing, said he would only tune a low milage or new car, because of the extra strain caused on standard components.

Got mine done by BAS in York. Heard good things about P-Torque as well though.

Lots of mappers about, just need to see who is in your area & do a bit of research.

Mapping will actually increase your mpg (if driven "normally"), as you will have more torque in the higher gears.

MPG went up between 5-7 mpg on a 25 mile motorway journey (about 52mpg).

On the other hand, if you have a heavy left foot lol............

To be fair mate, your talking bollocks.

You will not get a 7% bhp increase from a new air filter.

You will notice your car pick up speed a lot faster as your turbo will spool up quicker due to increased air flow.

Even if you have a cold air intake, you will be lucky to get a 2bhp increase - it's all about getting more cold air into the engine !!

I can see his point, but have known VAG cars get mapped at 80k miles & lasted well into the 150k & still going strong.

As long as you have regular services, you will be fine
