Re: A Sensible Look At Tuning

the term chippin annoys me an i think most ppl in tuning circles will agree its not the correct 1 to use. it is possible to add a 'chip' which is a naff bit of electronics basically a resistor which fools the ecu into adding more fuel. these are widely critisized and really just left for the uninformed lookin for easy power.

the only thing to do is re-map the ecu as has been mentioned an to agree with previous posts this isnt a miricle bhp creator. i think re-mapping is essential to get the most out of other mods you do to the engine. there is no quick fix for tuning and that is that (except forced induction). to re-iterate i would never touch a piggy back device like superchip so many bad stories!!
