putting 325 throttle body on my 320 and was gonna get a viper2 chip from ChippedUK to complement it for Ԛ£80squids.

BUT...........

The zone shop does a zone chip for the 320 for Ԛ£55, does anyone know if its as good a chip or should i stick to the viper2.
Also what about the "Alpina" and "Hartge" chips you see on flebay, are they any good

zone chip is the one to go for mate
if in doubt pm ant and he will give you info regarding zonechips

as for the ebay chips it would be a miracle if they were genuine and i would advise you to stay well clear Daz

also take a look in the tech section for more info and search the threads all you need to know is in there mate

Aha, mr ChippedUK, many people have an opinion on the chips. Some good, some bad from what I've read.

This should have been asked in the zone shop section.

I have a genuine Hartge chip specificall for the H27 and have rarely seen other genuine Hartge chips. Sure they are not rare but the ones I see on e-bay saying Hartge or Alpina I would take with a pinch of salt.

A fellow zoner sent me a "hartge" chip, let me assure you it bore no resemblance to the original in terms of the info stored upon it.
