I probably would as well. I reckon it'll be nothing more than an eBay map, some of which are good, some of which aren't. A lot of them are old Red Dot maps, or old Angel maps which have long since been improved upon..

I haven't seen LT either. P-Box is supposedly good, if I had a car in warranty I would use a P-Box rather than a remap.

I don't think those power claims are quite realistic. I wonder if these cars actually make the 200bhp claimed as standard, the only standard one I've seen rolling roaded made 185bhp, and about 230bhp or so after Red Dot remapped it..
