The remap looks to be around £250 the box is £400 ish (some sales make it quite a bit less). I guess the question is around doing it in hardware (the box) Vs software (the remap). The box I suppose you can just remove and it goes back to stock. The remap needs to be undone I assume for the same cost again. But this is just from googling.

I'm sure you are aware but your insurance company will need advised. I heard a horror story that a guy bought a mapped car, crashed it and the insurance assessor checked the car and found it had been remapped. The driver was unaware as it had been done by a previous owner. Claim refused - £22,000 down the drain.

Yeah, mine is not worth £22k. But even still, after talking it out, I'm not going to bother with a stage 1 for now as there's no way I'm using all 220hp anyway. I'm going to go for a simple pedal box as the Skoda forums are full of people who swear by them. Reasonable outlay and simpler install.
