    remapping!!!! is it worth it?

    I am driving an audi a4 fsi, not the tfsi. 2.0l petrol engine. I have been quoted £250-£300 for a home remap. This will only increse the bhp from 150 to 160ish. Is it worth it? I doubt it will make much difference to the mpg as the fsi engine is alreay very good. Thanks for your advise....
