Default remapping question

i looking at having my zafira vxr remapped, and what i want to know is, is it a case off having it setup after like when you chip a cosworth for example or are they regarded as safe?

Your best bet will be Thorney Motorsport. They are good enough to have the backing from vauxhall, and are the only modification company that can do there remapping etc on your vehicle without it losing its warranty.

Also, if our car is out of its warranty, they check the engine over before a remap, and if they're happy its in good condition, they actually give you a 3 year warranty on it!

I work for a vauxhall dealership and that's who we have to recommend.

Once mapped it should require no setup/adjustment.

Thorney, courtenay, regal all do a drive in drive out 280hp package. All you need is a decent exhaust and intercooler, being a vxr you have the rest of the commonly used parts.

It's obviously your car and therefore you're decision. All I will say is Thorney Motorsport have a few Vauxhall dealerships and are authorised by vauxhall to remap cars before they even leave the dealerships! To give you an idea, my master techs would only ever go there.

Your call!!
