dont buy these chips might end up doing more damage to your car. if you want to tune your engine go to a proper company and get your ecu file remapped.

I agree with gaffa here mate, go to a proper tuner. I used Steve at HDI-Tuning.co.uk. You need the tool to put the file on and off your car but its only about 12 quid of ebay. He charged £75 for a Stage 1 remap which made a big difference on my HDI.

i thought it was a no go -

another friend told me sometimes the car needs to go on a rolling road whilst its being tuned ( remapped )

£75 is a decent price...

where is this Steve based.

I agree with the 2 posts above :] Go to steve. He has mapped my car and its like a rocket Razz
Depending on how well the car has been looked after it will make 125 Bhp 275 Nm

the car has been well looked after,
X reg 110k on the clock.
No smoke, run smooth and quiet
full service history etc

Have just looked on ebay for a KWP2000 kit, abt £20, so ill just need one of those,
( have seen some that come with remap codes on CDs )

i take it you keep clear of those too, and have the code sent via Steve by email as it will be perfect ?

yea, dont use the generic maps!!! Steve will modify your existing map and send it back via email then you can put it back on your car. He sends instructions on how to do it all, its pretty simple though.
