Remapping - What If Your Car Has A Sport Button?
The question then is: What exactly is it you’re getting for your money? Well, for the price of £17,995 you get a SRi Sport Hatch which has been tuned with a twin engine map to either 160 or 200bhp and is controlled by way of the Sport button on the dash.
Cheers, Benni.

Wouldn't take twice along.
if it was a turbo, it wouldn't take more than setting the boost controll for the 2 settings.
but if it was like a M3, i 'guess' it would take longer, as the valve timing and ignition timing will be altered. but once the full power setting is sorted, the low setting would not take long.

why the fook would you remap the non sport mode?
surely thatd totally defy the whole point of having the slow sensible mode and the fast one

Less to go wrong if not fitted as well.

Total Mongoloid comment IMO
What if you want the boost to come in less hard, less boost would alter the characteristics loads. Especially in a diesel.

Sadly, many of you are talking rubbish. 
The sport button does a LOT more than just limit boost people, these cars arent dinosausrs.
The advent of Fly by wire throttle means a sport button is a very nice addition because we can adjust:
Throttle response.
Cam Timing.
Spark lead aggression.
Fuel mixture.
Torque limiters.
Traction Control activation limits.
Boost Pressure.
And much more on some cars, includng damper settings and even steering ratio on some cars, directly from the map.
Now how are you lot proposing to adjust all that with your right foot?
