hello i got a racing chip from usa, it says it gives 18-20 hp and 15 lb-ft torque rev limiter upped to nearly 7000
i've got a 325i and it definately made a difference.
the chip i'm going for now is from seller on ebay called " innovative-autosports" , it states it gives 24+ hp and 20lb-ft torque and raises rev limiter 400 revs . it only costs £19.70 = £2.95 postage so for £25 for that power its worth trying
hope that has helped

if it raises the rev limiter another 400 revs then it won'traise it if you have the usa chip in as that has already raised ithongkongfuey wrote:hello i got a racing chip from usa, it says it gives 18-20 hp and 15 lb-ft torque rev limiter upped to nearly 7000

what i ment was it raises the revs 400 not an extra 400 and i will be replacing the chip i have with this upgraded oneif it raises the rev limiter another 400 revs then it won'traise it if you have the usa chip in as that has already raised it

You will be lucky to get 8-10 hp at most. Speaking from experience.
The only place I would recommend to buy a chip from is A-tech (user name is Ant)
