Go for the remap. It's money well spent.

Trust me, you'll like the immediacy of the pedal when it;'s done.

Celtic Tuning did mine - given my car is 139bhp in factory tune the 192 they got is stunning. No need to use it all though - changing up at 2500rpm still leaves you well ahead of 16v two litre Golf Gti's etc. The torque in the midrange is absolutely silly. The car will fidget if you over pedal it in third (in the wet fourth can be interesting!).

What you get though is the delight in driving a car that pulls in all gears evenly. No peaks, no troughs, just loads and loads of torque. No dump valve will ever achieve that.
