Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

Hi, looking for people with experience on chip from Autodelta and Squadra Tuning. There are the two chip i am choosing from, i heard these problaby are the best. Or is there more options?

My question is really which chip is the best, the most powerful etc, or are they pretty much equal?

Autodeltas chip are more expensive, thats the downside so far.

I drive a GTV Turbo from -96

Cheers!

Re: Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

Squadra chip gives around 13bhp increase but needs super unleaded.
Autodelta give around 8 bhp but is ok on regular unleaded. IIRC.

I ran a Titan chip in my 145 for a while which is supposedly about 10bhp increase and it worked ok on normal unleaded. The noticeable performance difference from standard was hardly worth the effort though IMO.

Re: Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

Actually stephan (squadra) told me it is ok to run on non ron98 fuels occasionally, as long as the engine isn't taxed to the maximum (high altitides, high temps, etc)

Re: Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

You should see a lot more than 8-13bhp on a GTV Turbo.. I'd imagine 25bhp is possible, if the chip is controlling the boost.

I have been running a Squadra chip and bigger intake runners in my 156 V6 for over a year on non ron98 fuel without any problems.

Re: Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

That will be the calculated figure I would imagine.

Re: Autodelta vs Squadra Tuning

Stephane says that AR quotes lower than real figures for the HP of their engines. The claimed 218 hp V6 regularly gives 225 HP in reality.
Stephan claims this can be boosted to 242 hp.

The 2.0 TB version can be boosted from 200 to 230 hp according to stephan.

Look at his site (dutch version) and click the chiptuning on the top to see comparison charts of before and after for every model.
