F20 118i 2019 Performance Stage 1

I am considering a stage 1 remap for my 118i, but I have encountered mixed opinions regarding the B38 remapping, with some suggesting it may excessively strain my turbo while others claim a minor remap poses minimal risk.
I am enquiring if anyone possesses greater expertise and can assist me.

Presenting myself while seated in a BMW 3 Series from 2010.

I am experiencing a problem with my EGR; it occasionally becomes stuck, causing my car to judder during acceleration. I have been advised that I can remove it from my ECU. Will this have any long-term consequences for my vehicle, or would you advise against it? I own a 2010 330d.

Re: Concerns with the battery

I was made aware of a battery issue about a month ago when an MB specialist advised that the battery was showing two codes on their diagnostic system; over the weekend, a red battery warning message stating, "STOP THE VEHICLE, SELECT P DO NOT SWITCH OFF ENGINE" appeared on the dashboard.
