I am currently driving a Legende with the 250bhp map. The car is out of warranty so am considering an engine remap.
However, I am still concerned about the gearbox so want to stick to an Alpine map.
The obvious choice is to upgrade to an S map. However, no one seems to offer this option - all seem to be bespoke offerings.
Alpine will not upgrade for any price,
Are there any engine remapping companies that can do offer this upgrade?
Would appreciate any feedback.

I would imagine a reputable A110 tuning specialist such as Life110 (via TRS Performance) would have the exact OEM torque and power map details of Alpine archived, along with the TCU programmed measurements. i.e. to compare and contrast against their own in-house maps on offer. That may be your best route to replicate the ''S" map. Although I have to say on the couple of times when I test drove the S and GT variants whilst waiting for my LGT to be serviced, I really couldn't notice any performance difference c.f. 252 HP - at least, not on the road. No doubt on the track is where the slight hike in hp and torque will make a difference - but not IMHO on the road with every day driving. If you do go down that route, you might want to first check / arrange with your local Alpine dealer that they'd be prepared to reverse the map back to stock - in case you have any niggles / doubts about the map results. (Then, you might be able to twist their arm to accidently upload the S map....)
