Yes, because that's all it will do. It will increase the power across the whole rev range. 0-60 is a drop in the pond my friend.
Just had the S3 remapped..wow!

LOL if that's true then I'd like to know the answer too!
Int it. What was the thing before? 225?
Sorry, I missed the last few replies. Mine was 210BHP as standard. The 225 revision was released a few months after mine was purchased, but the upside is that the 225's have slightly higher co2 emissions and are in the new £400/year tax band whereas the 210's are in the £300 band 
They both produce the same amount of power after a remap though.
As I said in the OP the 0-60 has improved, but the general driveability and the way the power comes in has also changed for the better.. Pre-remap power used to pick up at 3k RPM when the turbo kicked in and then would drop off at around 5.5k. It now starts ramping up at 2k RPM and doesn't drop off until the redline.
The Yaris was never purchased as a performance car and as such I just "put up" with the performance. It was a tool to get me from A to B; it had plenty of torque which made it ideal for motorway driving though. The S3 however is a different kettle of fish however. As standard it's a quick car but you find that motorway driving just isn't as easy and as such it can feel "slow". Because it has a 6th gear, cruising at 70 means you're doing just over 2.5k RPM, where there was very little torque. The remap has changed all that and there is plenty of power available across the rev range.

There have been loads of problems with the Jabbasport maps anyway, and they take about an hour to upload. I'd have had Revo/CC/APR in that order.
Interesting to read the negative Jabba comments, when I grow some cahunas and get mine done I was thinking of taking it to Jabba, mainly from a location point of view.
