No
Dont be silly........these cars handle huge mileages with ease.......
It's barely broken in at this mileage and I for one think you will see only benefits from a remap.
not problems. Provided the car has been decently looked after in the past.

No sweat for that with your mileage. Just broken in that is... In all seriousness though, it would be worthwhile pointing out that the 11 year turbo hoses (and intercooler o-ring) are the 1st things likely to complain when they are tasked with containing ~1.4bar.
Coilpacks are also worth a careful look on all cars over 120k miles. Misfire problems can creep in caused by failing insulation on the coil wiring... regardless of software really, but higher boost can increase the likelihood of encountering symptoms.

Who could supply some hoses which would contain the 1.4 bar
I think you should have good brakes before you increase the performance of a vehicle.
Kingdoms are run by Kings, Dictatorships are run by Dictators.
England must be a Country. :mischeif:

Your right that is silly, at least let it wear in.. Id say wait till it hits 150k to be sure.
It would be a good idea to get in on the next group buy of Samco hoses as the Std ones will let go first, and get a 60-70 reducer for the intercooler.
Apart from that just be careful who you get to do the re-mapping, a Homefry or a custom re-map by MRC are both proven products by numerous forum members.
I've been out in Bry's Avant which has a Homefry in, and the difference is night and day, if you think your exhaust made a lot of difference, GET READY!!
