There is no such thing as a free lunch(unless you are a politician) so if the car has more power it has to use more fuel.

However, although I can't tell from experience as I have yet to do mine, a lot of people report similar or slight improvement in fuel consumption.

I would put this down to needing slightly less on the go pedal for the same result.

Make an engine more efficient, no matter how, and you get more power and better economy. That is the definition of efficiency. It seems my remap from td5inside is providing exactly that.

Is there any need to replace the oil pump bolt, or can it just be removed and re-loktited?

I can't see any reason why the same bolt can't be reused but the bolt is cheap and as you have to buy a gasket you can buy the bolt at the same time.

This is what I did.

Quick update: Wastegate rod shortened and sport mode engaged. Definitely more spritely off the line. I think maybe I have been babying it a bit too much We'll see when it come time to fill up, definitely need to adjust driving style from manual to auto.

Quite correct, no need to replace the bolt unless it was loose and has sustained damage.
New loctite and torqued to spec is all that is required.

When I posted a similar question about the bolt, someone suggested that the readily obtainable Loctite does not have the same oil resistance and temperature resistance as the stuff which is "painted " onto the OEM bolt.

For the money and stuffing about with the sump involved I would get the OEM one.
