Exhaust flaps open and loud!

I have always been sceptical of off the shelf remaps on naturally aspirated engines when there is no mods to the engine.

Forced induction is a different kettle of fish though.

Very much so. Unless you get an engine used in a few variants that is just detuned (N53 BMW engine comes to mind, gains over 40bhp in a 325i), gains on a standard N/A engine are never massive.

I'd love to have a play with some of the new VW diesels. One of the companies I work with have just finished developing their tune for the 3.0TDi used in the new A7 using one of Bosch's latest ECUs. Stock power 218bhp/500Nm, tuned 320bhp/680Nm.

Turbo power ftw!

Thats true on the 3.0 Tdi A7 Engine, put a tuning box on to mine when I had it and got 260bhp and 600Nm and still improved the fuel consumption as well slightly!!
