Default 25+ HP, and for free!!!

Well!! to cut a looong story short, I bought my audi A4 1.9TDi advertised as a 110bhp version. I realised yesterday when looking at my service manual that the engine output power was 66kW (90bhp) so I called the garage I bought it from and kicked up hell. So I'm getting my ECU remapped to 115+bhp for free next week! result!!

Ive looked into this and it usually costs in the region of £350-£450
And a 25bhp increase is an absolute minimum, you usually see a 5-8bhp increase on top of that.

The sneaky ********!

How much peak torque are you gonna gain? That's where diesels are strong.
