I've used Kim Collins to remap previous Audis. Not the cheapest, but always get good results (as in more ponies turned up than were purchased)
His website says 270bhp and 390Nms of torque. Sounds pretty good. (although states base figure is 211bhp, so hope I have the right model?)

The above sounds good cant see you getting much more out of it with a remap!His website says 270bhp and 390Nms of torque. Sounds pretty good. (although states base figure is 211bhp, so hope I have the right model?)

bluefin is another option not as much power but cost less-

The available margin is much less in a normally aspirated car.
A normally aspirated engine can only run more advance with a bit more fuel to quench the knock tendencies. A small bit is normally available to be had but its small and not without its down sides. Over fuelling to quench any knock can make the new power delivery 'fluffy', for want of a better word. A higher rpm limit will give more, but its a brave tuner that ventures into new rev limits with customer cars. The only real options are mechanical... better porting for intake and exhaust, higher compression ratio and stronger/lighter internals for a higher rev limit. Just advancing the timing maps may give 5-7% but rarely any more.
In a turbo charged car, the engine has the ability to run more boost, more timing advance and be fuelled to match the greater effective capacity. These are reined in by the manufacturer as emissions and the chance of buying poor quality fuel have to be considered. If you live in a country where fuel is consistently good or you have access to higher fuel than the EU minimum (all cars made in the EU must be able to run on 95 RON petrol and standard diesel, as applicable), you can exploit the extra in relative safety. The limit for most turbo cars is normally the size of the injectors. The manufacturer will have sized them to give a smooth idle, with clean emissions at low rpm. The smallest injectors possible give the best results for this criteria. Injector limits can easily be reached when mapping turbo cars but there should be gains of 20-30% available, depending on the base engine.
