as the title says really...

2003 A4 B6 1.8t engine.

i have vagcom, and i found a dynoplot excel file which was produced by the ross-tech guys, and if you use vag scope and measure some stuff, it will give you a ballpark BHP figure.

however, i wondered if there was an easier way to see if a car had been remapped of not.

the reason for this is that my new and old car (supposedly) have 0-60 times that are well within half-a-second of each other, but my new car feels a lot quicker than my old one. so before i shell out money on a remap, i want to make sure it isnt done already. (i have no receipt for any remap in the documents that came with the car)

thanks in advance :)

I think as you mentioned using the VAG COM is the easiest way mate
