Mate, with a GOOD MAP you don't need a TCU map aswell. If the MAP is a full re-write the gearbox will carry on happily. The software I use manages 520bhp with no 'box mods very safely and VERY smoothly.
As for RS4 RS6 comparrison, I do alot of both. They are very different cars. RS6 extremely capable and very quick but RS4 the more focused driver's car. Both very good at cruising and munching long miles and RS6 marginally quicker than RS4 in straight line but the RS4 definately the uicker back-lane hero due to lighter weight, tighter dynamics and manual 'box. With a simple re-map they will give a comfotable 440+bhp.
Just with BOTH they can be seriously expensive if not very well maintained!
