Mk4 Golf GTI Anniversary - buying tips

Fuzzy Wuzzy said:
Anniversary engines are all AUQ (180bhp), KO3s turbo.
Other 1.8T engines are AGU, ARZ and AUM (all 150bhp).
The AUM (is drive-by-wire) comes with the KO3s turbo, which allows it to remap to ~220bhp. As far as I'm aware, the only difference between this and the AUQ in the Anni is the map.
The other two aren't drive-by-wire and come with the KO3 turbo, which doesn't remap as high.
Although, the AGU (not sure about the ARZ) is a stronger engine than the AUM and so can be 'developed' further for more bhp than the AUM.

So the AUQ is drive by wire too? What does this term mean exactly, i know it lacks a throttle cable? Surely the AUQ can be mapped to 220bhp then too?Other 1.8T engines are AGU, ARZ and AUM (all 150bhp).
