hey guys, my mate is looking at setting up a remapping company,
could you please complete THIS (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QTWJQ2Y) questionnaire for him, there's only 4 questions so won't take long
-
any ideas why your friend thinks you don't need to inform insurers about a car with more power than standard? :huh:
-
Sounds a little cheap.
Manufacturers can tell if they want to.
Insurance must be informed.
-
insurance can tell as well if they want to.
you'd be amazed at what they'll pay to find out definative proof as well if its suspected
-
Wonder if they could find someone to read a ME3.8.1 AGU ECU.....
Most insurance companies dont even cover the increase in power from a spec 1 map! for example...AUM 1.8T 150bhp maps to 225bhp easily! Thats a 50% power increase.....

225bhp from just a remap is a tad optimistic, 205bhp is more realistic....which is actually a 36% increase :wink:

Depends what map you get and what set of rollers surely?
If your only on about a remap, then maybe the lower end of the figures....with supporting mods you might see more!

Yeah true, mine has a carbon map and is mapped to 205bhp dyno'd on their brutally accurate rollers. That's just with Forge 007p and pipercross filter :wink:

and if your injured and carted off in the meat wagon ?
-
Isnt it down the the individual person if they declare it or not?
Wonder how many of you have declared your optional extras....
-
No, it's not choice optional.
You need insurance to drive on the UK highway and if you have undeclared modifications you have no insurance.
Simples :wink:

Love to know what mines running at,my mate has 225tt and mine keeps up with his. He's driven mine and think mines faster than his. Going for rtech spec 2 map jan so will run it 1st. Will have to have 3 runs before, after remap and with water injection on, can't wait.
-
whats water injection?
-
INjecting water + meth into the inlet to cool things down and allow for more timing.
