Dont know why, but Im thinking to remap my Sup.

Revochip offer me +30 HP (19%), and +80 Nm (26%).

What you guys think? Did anyone do it? My car is pretty young, so I think she deserve, but will I notice difreence at all? They swear its safe for motor..

Tnx to reply

You know what "they" say, you never have enough BHP, or torque, for that matter as well...

 

I did the remap 6 years and 120k km ago, just at the end of car guarantee period and most definetely you feel the difference. No issues since and I would say that it's enough time and mileage for a pertinent opinion.

As I wrote in a previous post earlier this year, these were my first impressions:

 

"What I remember noticing immediately was that you get at higher speeds (quicker) at the same previous rpm (somehow longer shifts than previously, at least with the manual 1st and 2nd were very short). Also you notice an increase in torque, although it is not needed, as you rightly put it. 
Locally we have several tuning companies, but only a couple of them provided long-term reliable remappings, with lots of good and old reviews."
 

 

I would consider these before doing it:

• make sure it's a remap (OBD tuning, rewrite of the ECU file) and not chip tuning or powerbox - I heard only bad things about them, at least 6 years ago;
• make sure you get the original ECU file saved from the tuner, you never know when you might need it (if something goes wrong or regulation purposes - in some countries, i.e. Germany, it is illegal to have your engine remapped without declaring it to the authorities, due to insurance and tax system related to BHP); first writeback was free, but I didn't need it;
• guarantee conditions - I got 2 years coverage in case anything related went wrong; check with the tuner before, not all of them offer this; look for reviews older than 2 years related to the tuner;
• take into consideration a bit higher consumption - not because of the tuning itself (in fact if you would drive the same, consumption should decrease a bit), but due to the fact that you will be tempted afterwards to gas it more often.

That's about it, sorry for the long post, hope you got a better idea on the subject...

Thank you my friend, you helped me a lot!! :beer: :yes:

Glad I could help you to get more insight into the subject.

If/when you decide to go ahead and do it, come back with some first impressions.

Good luck and may the force (and the torque) be with you [emoji6]

I didn't know you insured vehicles in Serbia!  How do the premiums compare with those in the UK?
