Looking into a 1.8tfsi 160 - how well do they remap?

[jamespheely]

Hi guys - looking to get a b8 and would prefer the 2.0tfsi but my budget is £9.5k so they are out of my price range so looking at the 1.8tfsi 160bhp instead.

I've looked into it and it looks like they can map to around 210 bhp and 230lbs of torque... My question is how does this transfer to real world figures? For example the 2.0tfsi has 208bhp and 258lbs of torque and the 0-60 is 6.7 seconds compared to 8.6 for the 1.8 so... Since a mapped 1.8 has similar power figures to the 2.0 would the 0-60 be the same or is it not that simple?

Thanks

I have remapped 1.8, ive asked +65NM + 40 KW, how much is there in real terms now i cant tell, not sure about times as well, but car is much better/powerful because of that(2 years without remap+3years with) - highly recommend as in first if you push the gas car started jumping no wheel spin - now its different:).
