Default Remapping my engine

I am considering getting my 2007 A4 2.0d (170bhp) remapped. The tuning company said they can boost power to 210bhp. Was wondering what, if any, effect this will have on fuel consumption? Also, would the extra power have any effect on my flywheel?

Thanks!

Flywheel is just a mass of metal. The clutch should handle it easily enough. You'd need a new diverter valve. Fuel economy will essentially be unchanged when you're not getting hard on the gas.

Cheers for the reply! Diverter valve? Why would it need replacing? How much do you reckon?
