Just had my TTS remapped at QR Sport in Cheshire. Fantastic results, much better throttle response. Now around 300BHP. Next up is a full Milltek exhaust which should give another 20 HP. Is a great car, don't feel quite so bad now, after selling the RS4.

Having increased the power, are you considering upgrading the brakes too??

Uhoh... TT-S(mapped)? Haven't seen many of these around, just out of curiosity, are they selling 'well'? Are the 2.0Ts in these as strong and as 'easy' to tune as the old 1.8T in the mk1 TT?

Easy to remap another 50Bhp from the 2.0T. So the answer is probably yes!

Not seen any problems with tuned 2.0Ts other than the odd diverter valve. Usually reccomend an uprated one as a complimentary mod with a remap.

yep i think Forge have started doing uprated DVPs for the TSI engines now, plus a twin intercooler set up.

Easier to tune than the 1.8T.

Uprated fuel pump + revo stage 2+ gives about 350bhp...Cant get the old TT above about 270bhp without a bigger turbo.

So do APR.

Slight APR fan boy here. Currently run an APR R1 which replaced a Forge 007.

Very nice, my uncle has had some work done to his 51-plate TT Roadster 225Quattro, had it from new, pretty sure he said it was at 350bhp/350nm, but don't quote me on it, recently heard that he'd had to get the block re-built having blown it, not as a result of what he's done to it, apparently... Seems feasible, no? Haven't had a chance to find out for sure

lol boosting a TT from 225 to 350; not sure why the engine needs a rebuild? I reckon its because of the recent elections looming, the engine has given up and gone back to germany..

Not really. Injectors, front mount, remap and maybe a larger turbo and it's there.

Plenty of S3s I know running that power without an issue.

Must find out for definite. Then ask for a ride/drive!

Bigger turbo for definite. Possibly a hybrid k04 could see 300bhp but no way 350bhp.

The only internals that you would have to worry about with 350bhp are the rods.

lol engine add ons.. slightly different to a basic remap!

You never said anything about add ons. Just that all 1.8 turbos with that much power are basically going to blow up, creating a nuclear winter to end all humanity.

Basic remap isn't going to see that power. Pretty obvious basically.

Folks make a lot of claims on engine power. I have heard a few times people saying they have remapped it to beyond 300+. I suppose as I had the standard 225 pople would say it to brag...

I doubt that is possible.. 265 is for sure!
