Has anyone thought of remapping their new sportage? Having only read about this recently I was curious so rang up a local "remapper" for some advice. He said he could remap the car that would increase the current 136 to 166bhp , an increase of 30bhp!! He also said I would save on fuel and the gear changing would feel smoother or silkier. He was absolutely sure about this stating that I could return and get my money back if unsatisfied. Which brings me to the price. He said if it was the newer version of this particular diesel engine (which I think it is unless someone corrects me) then it would take about 1-2hrs and cost£330. If it was the older diesel engine it would cost £230. Would anyone out there in Kia world like to comment on this and do they think these claims are true re the increase in bhp? Regards Johnathan P.S. He said it was completely legal and doesn't damage the engine and could be easily returned to its original state by
altering the ECU?
