Most likely invalidate your warranty so I wouldn't bother. Also it's an all round family car not a hot hatch. Are there any real legitimate reasons for remapping?

may also invalidate insurance too; Superchips haven't done for J11 as yet:

I think the bottom line is no, don't do it. If you want a faster car then it is better to go out and buy one. As said it would invalidate the warranty and substantially increase your insurance premium. When all is said and done it is a family car and best left as such.

More torque and improved fuel economy.

If i had a Qashqai that was out of warranty, i'd be taking it to somewhere like Avon Tuning to have a DPF removal and remap.

More torque and better fuel economy? Maybe one or the other but not both! Dont believe all you read on these 'chipping' websites.
Also, if you remove or disconnect any part of the dpf or its system then your car cannot pass its MOT. Instant fail.

Why? It will still be a Qashqai and not a GTI R type RS something or other.

I'm sorry but that is incorrect, lots of people have deleted their DPF and their cars still pass the MOT.

If your car had a factory fitted DPF and it is noted that this is no longer fitted at the MOT it is an automatic fail. I believe most cars that pass the MOT without their original DPF do so because it is not easy to pick up on the test from an external inspection. It certainly invalidates you insurance unless you notify the insurance company and they agree an amendment to the policy.

You will also need to notify your insurance company if you remap, which will almost certainly up your premium by what could be a large amount, and failure to do so would invalidate your cover. Re-mapping is dodgy ground for very little benefit, as others say buy a different car if you want performance.
