A little confused but interested all the same. You say a remap, yet it involves a "small box"?? Did you get it done and how did it go?
I am getting ECU remapped

Oh, sorry about that, that is my stupid English right there.
Of course I meant just adding a "special box" under the bonnet.
Today they have done it, so far I don't feel any difference, I believe there is a need to put some miles on the engine before it all really starts working...
The guy came with his laptop, plugged it somewhere under the dash...did something on his computer, started the car, switched it off.....took the box, plugged it in and that was it.
Hopefully I will feel something more when I put more miles on the car......I will keep you updated.
You have lots of questions while I have very few answers to them.
Company was called UR Tuning and I believe it is only in Czech Republic.
As I said, my stats are 206KW and 600NM, difference in acceleration is not noticeable by feelings - that means that I can't feel the difference. However, when I compared old and new video - I could clearly see almost 2 seconds improvement on acceleration from 100 up to 200 KPH.
Few people had also asked me about this box after seeing my acceleration video on YouTube....they said car is faster compared to the stock one even by an "eye".
I would not buy anything for less than 1000EUR, mostly since A5 is not exactly a cheap car and I would not risking paying small amount of money for some miracle. I mean, since ABT could get 280BHP and 580NM from the stock car on their Power kit, then it means that getting more than that is quite an extreme thing to do. Best they could get out of the 3.0TDI engine was 300BHP and 600NM. Anything that is more than 280 though, has to be expensive, in my opinion.
Cheap is not always good, and same applies for expensive stuff as well. But in this market section I would stay only with "expensive" stuff....ABT, MTM, etc.
Company I used had already remapped many A5s and I decided to go with it, because my own dealership suggested trying it.

Actually I haven't noticed the difference maybe because before this mod I was not pushing it too hard. I don't know
I am uploading a video for you, so you can see acceleration of my A5 now.

No, it is not difficult for me to take my car to DYNO. There is just one thing that makes me not doing; I don't really care THAT MUCH.
For me it is pretty much enough to know that performance had improved.

What you have been told about the key is BS. Feel free to mod it. Many people before me have done it here and nothing happened yet, nobody lost their warranty.
No, I haven't raced 335d, but I have raced BMW 535d and I beat it. It was the most difficult race for me so far. It took me AGES to pass it, but I did.
