318 is chipping?

[firthy]

I am thinking of chipping my 318 is, what are the realistic gains and is it worth it!!??

[Geeman]

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...

Where are you thinking of getting it done? or are you gonna do it yourself? if so where are you going to get the chip from and any idea how much it is gonna cost you?

it is well worth it, with a few mods and a re-map i got 25hp over standard,
i did a write up on a while ago, i'll try an dig it up

Not sure about where to get it done.... maybe a Zone shop chip, wondering if there any good? i dont really want to do it myself, will any garage do it?

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.
