Chip or re-map?

[ramrod]

I think i had a power boost valve on my 205 gti back in the day, that went like a true pocket rocket

Has anybody got one on a Mk3 16v? does it make much/any difference?

where is the best place to buy one?

I'd LOVE to believe some of the quoted figures on this thread, but I can't. 167hp from a standard 16v, no way. A remap on a NA car will give only a couple of hp, no more than 10 really, however good the remap is. 142hp from an 8v with exhaust, chip and induction kit? Again I struggle to believe that, as mine pulled 138hp and as many know it had a rally spec cam, as well as exhaust and drilled airbox/panel filter combo and a great big cold air intake, as well as being freezing temperature when it was done (January's big freeze).

These remap companies will often program their dynos to over read so you leave the shop with a great big smile recommending it to the entire world and coming back for me in the future.

5 year old thread back from the dead. 

But I do have to laugh at some of the figures quoted in this thread.

The first 2 pages of this thread are a massive lolfest.

My favourite part was the bit about induction kits sucking in too much air.

my 16v has a panel filter and new spark plugs. i should be looking at 197bhp with a remap. reckon i could get it well over 250bhp with a zorst and some stripes!

Take the Zorst off and double up on stripes, will see you way over 250!

At least they searched before posting 
Reckon I should remap my 1.4? I hear they go straight to 100bhp with a remap and smaller wheels. The smaller wheels spin faster, so it goes faster innit.
