The best module also have boost control connector, so i think it will be less risky in comparsion with a traditional chip that only is connected to the injectors.

It has 9 programs, and a intesity regulator too.


I have a D5 (200hp).

thanks

You could get a remap for the same price as those tuning boxes.

If I would already have my car remapped I wonder which insurance companies are flexible where it comes to that ? Anyone any experience as I want to do it legal and not running the risk of no pay out when something would happen ?

I've purchased two cars that were already remapped and I wouldn't have known if I hadn't taken them to be remapped.

I'm sure many people including yourself have owned, insured and driven cars that were remapped without your knowledge, so neither did your insurance company.

Personally I think everyone should inform their insurance if they mod their car in anyway. That said, many insurers don't check as its not that easy to detect a remap without specialist tools and knowledge.

Agree with you that I do not want to risk not informing the insurance. Shame that for performing fuel remapping is remapping as people who drive conscious to keep the MPG as high as possible are often very considerate drivers who look ahead much more to keep a fluent yet modest speed .........
