Let modding begin
I started reading up and eventually ended up buying a tuning box. It gave the engine more power and slightly better fuel economy whilst preserving the warranty. The box could be fitted/removed in about 20 seconds flat and for a couple of months I was reasonably happy with it. Now then, the smart thing to do would have been to stop reading the Alfa forum and in particular the F1-progress thread of James! I blame it all on him!
I kept reading about this F1-remap with DPF removal and EGR delete that has been developed by AlfaTune and AHM. In the end I decided to give AlfaTune a ring and spoke to Gus at length. He explained all the available options patiently and left it with me to mull things over. I decided to go for the full-monty. Remap, DPF removal and EGR delete. The car was booked in and AlfaTuner did his magic. Well, it transformed the car! I couldn't believe it was the same engine. Having had the benefit of driving a Brera 2.4 in various configurations - Standard, Mangoletsi Mod3, and my tuning box I can confirm that the AlfaTune remap is in a different league. :thumbs:
