Just booked my car in for a remap at the end of the month. There saying that I should get 190 hp with 400 nm of torque.
There charging 220 for this and to achive this there saying they need to remove the ECU and modify.
I'm doing this on a 2014 2.0 cdti 140 bhp with the F40 box.
The only concern I have is if the fly wheel is up for this. Any ideas guys?

I'm with flick on this
200 bhp -400ish torques is not enough but much better than standard
ECU out and opened but it's not a Rocket science job
It's a heavy car
Vectra C had a much better engine
Mine cost £200

That's the main difference between a tuning box and ecu remap, also tuning box is removable and you can resell if you sell your car. Saying that you can have a decent tuning box that performs well and economy not affected. Or a bad remap which will affect the cars performance and economy. Just have to do your research and get the best option.

Lol. Car is bit heavy.
If it is I guess the Fuel consumption must suffer. I love Petrol cars but I get 60 + mpg out of my Derv. The miles I do it's a no brainer
Small engines and big turbos look great on paper for emissions but suck in real life fuel wise when you want to put your foot down. I would have a 3l petrol BMW tomorrow
Fantastic to drive but only 22mpg around town 30ish on a run. Very Cheap used, but fuel is £6.00 a gallon ?
