Let us know, I want to hear how the map is once it's fixed.

I have a 2002 A3 1.8 T sport and have heard good things about R-Tech.
No problem - will let you know.

All I can say is that the car is very different from how it was stock, even with the worn out actuator. R-Tech 100%!

That depends on the type of wastegate you are referring to.
