craggsy 91 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If it seem s too good to be true then it usually is. I wouldn't bother myself.....but its your cash and your decision. Save your cash towards sorting handling out first then go onto engine Link to post Share on other sites
amazak 3 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I see your point, but then again £30 is not much, more importantly I am concerned about any possible damages caused by these cheaper chips ? Anyone tried a similair chip? Link to post Share on other sites

vr6Bass 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 there's not much difference on a stock engine to be honest just the added advantage of the increased limiter, so i took mine off for a while, replaced my cat with 2.25" straight through pipe and added bmc. i noticed big difference in performance then i wacked on the chip and noticed a MASSIVE performance increase!! faster than ctr's, 330's, st225 etc Link to post Share on other sites

amazak 3 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The guy got me a bit confused as the listing says the chip is not available for cars after 1994, mine is OBD1 but 95 model??? So he requested for me to send him the ecu number, that is why it is taking me so long. Anyways please update the post after you tried one out.Regards Link to post Share on other sites
