Piggybox your ride.....

Hi there, I am just wondering if anyone here has actually fitted a piggybox your Evoque to increase its HP and torque? There's couple of brands out there like Race Chip which according to their webpage, fitting the Chip onto your Evoque could increase its torque value of 420Nm to 510Nm.!!!!

Thought about it, but it would invalidate any warranty, so decided against it.

Apologies to the OP for this hijack, but I'd be interested why you thought about it LaserTam. I have a MY16 on order with 380Nm torque, which is the same as your eD4.

Do you feel it's underpowered pulling out of bends or going uphill?

Where drugs fool your body, so do chip tunings fool your engine and turbo. Both end up in an irreversible damage.
I am pretty sure manufacturers get the best out of the engine to keep customers satisfied.

My 2nd car was a TVR at the time. When compared, yes I thought it was under powered.

Not so concerned now I suppose, but the Evoque will be up for sale soon anyway, Discovery 4 being picked up in a couple of weeks

Excuse the language, but what a load of crap. All the chips that are sold increase the fuel pressure and some also increase the boost pressure, but not to an extent that you are endangering your engine. Not from a known manufacturer anyway.
