I don't think your method sounds sensible, its guessing.

I would go for a remap in preference to a magic box, one that checks all the sensor parameters carries out a rolling road test and prints before and after power graphs.

Number 7 on all three sounds about right,  200bhp ish I would have thought.  It seems Maxchip have updated the box to give ABC settings.

Have fun lol

A remap invalidates the warranty as opposed to simply unplugging the box before a service and reconnecting after.

I would have thought both invalidate warranty and insurance unless the insurer has been notified.  :)

My insurance is fully aware and happy with the modification.  I have my own company and have a fleet policy for all vehicles and my broker advised them of the change and the only change to the policy was that no drivers under 25 are now allowed to drive the vehicle (previously it was anyone with my permission).
