Anywhere from 5bhp up to a claimed 25bhp!!!
It's worth it if you supplement it with a large bore throttle body and some kind of cold air induction kit, along with the deletion of the water heated plate on the throttle body...

Don;t go anywhere.
Chipped-UK or Zone Shop chip are the same thing when it boils down to it.
A remap will do a little more but will also cost 3 times the amount.
