Looking to buy new 116d - remap/box?
Discussion
Looking to donwgrade daily driver in terms of running costs, so as to free up spare cash for Lotus Elise for weekend fun!
From what I've read the latest 116d is basically the same 2.0l diesel engine as the 118d & 120d, but somewhat detuned?
So, once run in, I was planning on 'up-tuning' said engine to get it back up to 160hp. which would be plenty with the associated torque for a daily runner.
I understand that remap would be best choice, although there is then an issue come dealer service time, so was leaning towards the (oft maligned) tuning boxes, that I could then remove before stealer visits.
There is one box that claims to affect both boost and fuelling, rather than just increasing the fueling and appears to be a reputable UK seller.
Any thoughts from the oracles on here?
