Who is gonna re-map their evoque then?

So what percentage of us are thinking of re-mapping their evoque?

By the sounds of it the SD4 could get an extra 30bhp & improve the 0-60 by 2 sec with a re-map.

Very tempting but is it worth it?

Much would depend on how it would affect the warranty. Very tempting though, more than likely that i will get it done especially if its shaving 2 secs off 0-60. didnt think it would be as much as that previously.

It is tempting to get a map done, however +1 with regards to warranty

Warranty + Insurance + (Gap) = ?

If no big deal then why not but from experience I doubt it will be worth it but I hope not.

It will take alot more than 30BHP to drop the time to 60 by 2 secs IMO!

Certainly considering it, I have a guy local to me, but tbh now i've joined the forum would be probably use Bell Auto, want the wife's disco 3 doing also.

It isn't necessary, the car SD4 190 has quite sufficient poke and economy, but there are those for whom sufficient is never enough....

It is around the 2 sec mark ask bell auto who actually does the remapping.

Perhaps they'd then like to explain why the Si4, with 50 more bhp is only just over a second faster to 60. It's lighter too...

My 911 has 493 bhp, weighs less than an Evoque and can still "only" get to 60 in around 3.6 seconds. So, the chances of a 220bhp Evoque doing it in 6 seconds are minimal when the 190 bhp takes 8 seconds or so.

Simple school-boy physics calculations show that the Evoque can pile on kinetic energy (which is where the power goes) at about half the maximum engine power. On that basis, to do it in 6 seconds would take between 60 and 100 extra bhp.

Personally I will stick with the TD4 as it is, I have SD4 auto freelander at the moment and it does go well but I have no need for the extra power.
