Hi

Can anyone give any advice on the ecu chips that improve fuel consumption and a few geegees. I have seen a few on ebay etc and wondered if they are worth the bother and how easy they are to install.
Any help gratefully received

Zagorkaman, might you resize your avatar please. It's massive (320×173 px) and is throwing the page out of whack. You need something 150x150 px or smaller. Many thanks.

depends on the seller and whats on the chip tbh.. i sell some on ebay but i dunno if id trust running someone elses without reading the chip and peeking at whats on it myself first. u dont have that luxury..

ant or speedtouch should be able to sort u out.

if u do buy off ebay avoid the alpina/copy chips as they are mapped for a cam amongg other things and actually run less ignition advance than standard in the higher revs which will lose some top end HP unless ur running a cam and other heavy breathing mods.

I have an Atech chip and it is the the nuts. Ant is a top bloke and really knows his stuff - will make a chip for you - just tell him what you want to get from it and he will make it happen.
