Interesting but how will it affect your insurance being a volvo approved upgrade ?

Clan · Jul 17th, 2009, 21:57

I would imagine the same way as any other power increase , a small extra premium or if you are lucky no extra premium .

£650 for a 20bhp remap? Thats extremely expensive.

I was thinking that, MPH Unchanged, MPG Unchanged, so its £650 for 0.5 sec. quicker to 60mph.

Or am I missing something else?

£650 for 20 bhp is expensive, but you also get much better in-gear performance (and torque) which is really what counts.
