159 1.9&2.4 remap results?

Hi everybody, I'm very fresh to this community, wanted to launch my first question here. Did some search on this and it seems remap hasn't been discussed so much recently.

For some 2 years now I've been a happy user of my Alfa 156SW 1.9 remapped to 165bhp and I look forward to having a successor 159 2.4 Q4 guess.. with a remap as well.

Please post your results achieved on Alfa 156&159, both measured and subjectively perceived are welcome.

In my case it was a remap of ECU through OBD connector here in Belgium at Autotuneheinz. Some 136/320 (bhp/Nm) before and 165/380 after. Performance gain after was immediately and undoubtedly felt. No data on acceleration other than my subjective feelings that it was surely worth it. Top speed increased from 208km/h to 218km/h (GPS measured, highway in Germany) Top speed was verified like that a few times more.

Now thinking what 159 2.4 210bhp could do after a gentle remap..

156SW 1.9JTDm + remap 165bhp

Thinking of... 159SW 2.4JTDm Q4, 18" spoke rims, black + black upholstery + remap 210->250bhp
