Remap Insurance costs after Upgrade

Just wondering who you are insuring your car with, especially the people who have had re-maps.

Just had a superchips remap this week on my ctdi, best £500 i have spent and has really brought the best out of the diesel engine.

My insurance jumped my £150 have no convictions or accidents and at a reasonable age

if your insurance went up by £150 how much is that of a percentage of your original premium?

Insurance went up 50% was paying £400 now paying £600

50% is steep!
but £200 sounds not as bad

How are you finding the Superchip. Reckon the car's faster than Type R ??

Torque is superb on it. Reckon it will be quicker off the line than a Type R, not sure once you get going as know the VTec engine in the type r doesn't really become alive until 3-4000 revs.

Guess need someone that has tried a chipped CTDI and has driven a Type R
