Insurance and Remap

[jimmyob]

Ok, so I can imagine a lot of people have posted about this before so I apologise in advance.

I've just purchased a Bluefin from Superchips for my Gti Edi 35. I'm currently in the process of sorting the insurance for it at the moment which is proving to be a bit of a ball ache.
I'm with admiral and they only allow 25% increase in power.

I've done my own calculations and whist it's not exactly a taxing calculation I think the figures are up for interpretation. I'm getting an increase of 26% BHP which is obviously not 25%.
Although I agree it's not worth risking it with insurance I don't really want to have to change insurers for the sake of 1% of increase which might not even be the case in real life.

If anyone's got any thoughts that would be great,


P.S. if you use PS as your unit of power you get an increase of 25.9% do I really have to round it up?

Percentage BHP loadings are backward. What are they going to do in the event of a claim? Rolling road it when the car is stuck halfway up a tree?
Hell, the cold weather effects the power of my turbo car.

Insurers (sensible ones) go by the modification rather than the customer's view on the BHP increase.

Personally, I'd be looking for a new insurer.

We have specific modified vehicles schemes that can cater for all types of modifications. We are very competitive on the VAG cars and i actually drive a remapped Octavia VRS myself so understand the mods.

We offer GTI forum members a discount plus if you cover less thant 7500 miles per year you could receive a reduced mileage saving which can lead to some very good prices.

We can also cater for additional modifictions like intercooler etc at no extra cost. All modified parts are covere don a like for like basis, we are also able to offer track day insurance and agreed value cover.

Thanks for all the help Neil. Turned what I thought would be a bit of a nightmare into a very easy process and you saved me money as well.

Car is running great. Remap has made all the difference.
