Dont touch it with a barge pole !!

If you want a decent power gain chip or ecu re map is the way to go depending on what model year and engine youve got

You should opt for an ECU remap which should see you good for another 40- 50 bhp ... cost - £250 - 400

This firm has a good reputation for such work but there are many in the country that provide the same service ... http://www.amdtechnik.com/products.v...m?variantid=12

the only thing that chip does is turn ur check engine light on. i got one to see what was up, it does nothing and puts the light on. it probably gave me an extra like 5hp, not worth it at all. and yes it does trick your air flow, it tells the car that the air is colder than it actually really is and the car in turn sprays more gas because colder air is more dense which requires more gas. but the chip also throws a lot of things off, in effect the CEL will go on. I REPEAT do not get it.
