I would not recommend it, that engine was built for economy, not power. The ecu must be opened to flash it.
VCDS changes done by me for a minimal fee

from what i hear a few tuners can map these cars without going the bench map route..
+- (15-20kw) i'd assume, like any other remap
92 CTi - EX
STO-Tuned Polo TDi 74kw - 122 bhp
CW Mk 5 GTi - Dp, Intake, Stealth Stage 2
194kw , 414Nm at Stealth HQ

i realised that dont need the extra power.. took a drive t potch today n was stunned at how the 1.6 performed.. plus fuel consumption was great..
now i need to lower the polo.. but will my warranty laps? the some dealers say no and others yes?

Most tuners can map them but power and torque gains are not what you would see in the likes of the PD series TDI's. The valves apparently are not exactly that strong so torque cannot be increased too much
