Just had this operation on me 2.4JTDM & can't honestly notice any difference! Paid an extra 80 quid (on top of the £395) for the 50 pence Chinese chat remote control unit aswell!! & I can't tell if it's switched on or off! It's supposed to give an extra 48Bhp which should surely make a marked difference! Anybody else with similar experience, or could it be that Mangoletsi simply forgot to 'activate it' (which really wouldn't surprise me! ).

Interesting as I'm about to take an autodelta map as part of the deal...just tryng to find out more and this is a good bit on information.
Typically though you should be able to notice it, certinaly with a boost guage, but some of it will deplend on your driving style.
AS I don't actually own a 2.4 yet, I can only comment from my 1.8turbo experince, but that is noticable for 180 to 210>, smoother, more torque and response.
Well I'd certainly save yourself £80 on the remote control if you decide to go ahead! I'd also seriously think about NOT informing your insurance company about the upgrade...I was mislead that it was a physical add-on upgrade so informed my insurance company...with almost double premiums!! Turns out it's an ECU upgrade by some geek on a laptop, so the insurance company would be none the wiser in the event of an accident.

I'd not take that path actually. Having run modified cars for a number of years and seeing what lengths insurers will go to in order to not pay.
Although the ecu upgrade it he least obvious upgrade on a pile of bent metal. Well murhpy's law would dictate things for me...
As to the hike, it depends on your insurance company, age and alot of factors. I remember once direct line said it was fine, no hike for a remap because it was not on the list of options. This was when it was the norm to @chip@ a car. I'd try the likes of adrian flux, chris knott and a few other specialist brokers, you can always cancel/move.

That mob couldn't even be bothered to call me back!
I ended up getting it for around £850 (after some quotes of thousands) which I didn't think was outrageous as the renewal quote on standard spec.was about £600.

Mangos serviced my car and the timing was out on my engine by the time they'd finished.
I won't be going near that lot again!!
It seems once you have signed on the dotted line & they have your hard earned they couldn't give a hoot!
You would think they are extremely busy with the length of time it takes to return a phone call...if they can be bothered...but when you call in there's loads of staff moaping around, seemingly with nothing to do!
Business must be good.
