can you remap a standard mk2 2.0 16v cupra Sport? or do you need a remappable ECU like a megasquirt system?

2 things. The cost would be about £500... For this you could get some cams fitted! it would cost about £400 for fresh Kent cams fitted.
Badger has some box jobies. Dont know how they work, but consider that.

to make use of these mods though you need to do other stuff to get their full potential - do the homework before you rush out and spend £400 on cams or £500 on a remap.
Spend the money elsewhere, i think the engine is pretty good with an induction kit and exhaust, i just dont think the bhp rewards are worth the cash, instead pimp the exterior, get some fat brakes maybee if you have money burning a hole in your pocket? Or use the money to go to GTi international and buy us all some sprints if you get desperate to unload ££!!!
-sorry for using 'fat' and 'pimp' in one reply, i am neither, so i should really avoid such street jazz talking. apolagies
i was gonna get mine remapped this summer, hence my siggy- was gonna get it done at A.M.D but as said, its not gonna make a big enough difference to make up for the money! need to take that out my siggy now, but i can't be botherd! if you've got the money lying around maybe do a 1.8t transplant? and if you remapped that it would make a huge difference, but thats if your minted! 
To be point to point quick, suspension and brakes will make the most difference. Keeping good tyres on board makes a big difference.
Engine work needs to be done at once and its easy to spend £2.5k on engine work being done by someone else.
Money well spent in my eyes.

TB is the best route to go for a 2.0 16v, but thats alot of money as well
having a well sorted valver i.e. brakes and suspension far outweighs power
as they say, power is nothing without control.
Personally if i had the money I would get a nice set of brakes, strip out the interior and purchase a light set of bucket seats. then IMO it would certainly fly

brakes work well from standard but a good set of uprated discs and pads all round (front and rear) does make a good difference.
Recently found out padgid no longer do the fast road pads anymore but zimmerman still do the discs.
So we're giving mintex race spec a go. See how we get on.

I thought the padgid pads i got wernt amazing! they obviously wernt the FR version.
And i think my Zimmermann drilled discs are warped. Not too badly, but the steering wheel shakes a little under heavy braking. Could have had something to do with having them Cherry red within the first 300 miles?
I want S2 twinpot brakes now anyway.
I can vouch for the getting the chassis sorted and loosing excess weight route. Those that saw me at Combe in April will know what I mean...
This is probably why they werent amazing!! With 5.1 fluid i have never had the brakes fade, including combe, road and the ring. I was very impressed.
Shame they dont do them anymore personally.
I do agree tho, a well sorted chassis far out does power in a point to point and track scenario.
HAHA.
By "tb" he didnt mean "to be honest" (easy enough to confuse) he was referring to Throttle Bodies
