Just to let you know if you go down the re-map option, the first time it gets plugged in at a VW garage, it will pop-up with a message indicating the ECU has been flashed. Automatically gets registered so no matter what dealer you go to, they will know even just from the chassis number it has been tampered with.

Does invalidate quite a lot of the drivetrain warranty, only way around it is to get a new ECU. Revo are apparently working on a fix for this at the minute, not to put you off though. I wanted my TSI remapped but someone in parts at a dealer put me off :)

I Think I Will Be Going Down The Route Of A Tuning Box

Thought About A 1.2TSI But Once I Drove The Diesel And Felt How Strong It Was And The Miles Per Gallon I Was Hooked On The Diesel.
