My T6 is just 102bhp but moving up to the 140bhp is silly money as you have to have other stuff which I wasn't bothered about plus it was over a grand more.
I ended up going with superchips Bluefin tech.

Instead of taking the vehicle in I get
To the gizmo that downloads the current mapping, I send that via my laptop to them, they send the new mapping back I download that to the gizmo. Plug it into my vehicle it uploads new remap.
Advantages are if it goes in for service and a mapping update is needed, if it reverts vehicle to original 102bhp! I let the company know upload info, download new remap!
Instead of going into a garage and paying again, most companies have limited warranty to cover.
If you ever change your vehicle you get a heavily discounted new map for your car.
The company has been around since the early 70's. So feel confident.
The difference?
As the furniture was added to the van obviously slowed down mainly a lot more gear changes. And reduction in fuel efficiency.
The remap is 170bhp. That's it, the company has spent many years sorting this and have concluded this is the best mix of power and fuel efficiency.
Only done about a hundred miles and still only have 7,200 miles on the clock. But so far, I'm happy with the acceleration. Less gear changes and oh yes stuffed it up a Audi A4 on the Mway when he tried to intimidate me whilst overtaking in the outside lane gave him a run for the money 😂😂
Mpg a bit better when flooring it in the 102bhp fuel consumption dropped to low 20's now mid 20's
and as said not run it yet!
Whole thing took more than 20 mins to do. £500 seems a lot but convenience is great and 6 months interest free this winter!
