Title: superchipping
Post by: robpolo on 04 September 2003, 19:28

ive got a 2001 vw polo 1 litre

i am thinking about superchipping the car, but was wondering if it would be worth it, would it make much of a difference to the performance?

1 litre polo...the only thing that will make that go faster is a rocket booster from nasa!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I 'superchipped' my Audi, made enough difference for me not to go back and get a refund. Lower end torque definitely improved.
You can't really go wrong as its a guaranteed money back option if you're not happy.

Welllll.........it made a difference to the Audi, not much , I must admit, but enough to justify ?250 (although I think its a little more now). God knows that thing needed some lower end torque!!

I don't think it will make a lot of difference to a 1L Polo !!!

I think it would be minimal on a 1 litre but by all means try it.

Don't bother with a superchip.

If anything, get a DASTEK (unichip), fully mappable, rather than just a standard map superchip.

Has anyone thought ... is it fuel injected ?

It is a fully electronic multi-point fuel injection system. Still not worth chipping, just enjoy the fuel economy  ;)
