I dont know if its worth the trouble. They dont promise significant power increase in my opinion. I also wonder what the effect on guarantee would be?

Re mapping works best on turbo cars!

The Nuova500 shop will do it as well, only problem is they need the ECU which makes it a bit hard from down here :(

Hi,

I am working in this business as calibration engineer for one of the major OEM's since nearly 20 years.

My daily job is to program ECU's in order to get reliable and clean cars that drive flawless also during warm up phase, that start at the lowest temperatures and that are also drivable in altitude as well as at sea level.
These cars have to meet all the current emission standards, also after 100000km of aging.

A correct EMS development is requiring more than a year of work including hot, cold and altitude development and I can only warn people to do such chip tuning which is done in a few hours on a rolling road dyno.

It will not be without reduced engine life, increased emissions and most often also increased consumption.
Also car manufacturers can detect if there was chip tuning done if your engine is gone as the resulting damages are quite typical to chip tuning.

Remember also that most often the certification of your car is invalid after this action.

An exception to this is for my opinion only the Abarth SS option as it is well tested and done by Fiat themselves.

If your car has not enough power, it's not the way to make it better, you simply bought the wrong model.biggrin2

Well I am not going to do it:) I was just curious if anyone had tryed it? My 1,2 pop ain`t no street racer but it got more than enough power for my daily usebiggrin2 After all 70 horses on a car just over 800 kg ain`t to bad...And I am not afraid to take it on a roadtrip through Europe this summer. I think that 110-120 km/h on the Autobahn will suit me just finelol
