I've been running a remapped Mjet for more than 12 months. Very noticeable difference - better performance, better response, better torque and no fall in mpg. I think the car is significantly improved and much more enjoyable. So far, no reliability issues whatsoever. There are various options out there - mine was from www.nuova500shop.com. I've got no regrets at all so far.

They look ok that that takes it to 100 bhp then thats like haveing a 1.4 but better mpg and cheaper tax LOL looks good to me
Will it increase your insurance premium and void parts of you warranty though?
How long did you own the car before you had it remapped? Was it long enough to determine if it has made any difference to the number of regeneration cycles the ECU performs? Have you had any problems with the DPF at all?
Cheers.
since the backpressure was upped via the remap then it would show a overboost reading on the alfa/fiat diag. Thus any warranty claims attempted via engine or transmission will be denied.
insurance would be dependent upon insurer.

May be better to get a 1.4 then and convert it to L.P.G then

The car was 6 months old before remap. No problems with DPF. Original remap can be remapped itself to take account of new DPF settings.

Insurance hike of about £20. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Not had any problems at all with my cat to test warranty issues. Plus not found anyone yet who has had warranty issues due to a remap, tho they may be out there somewhere.
Oh right. That's interesting, I was thinking the rise in insurance would be more than that. But then again, there is alot of variation across the market.
Edit: Is that twenty each month (extra £240), or just an extra twenty on top of yearly premium?
