Ive heard they are fine. Dont expect miracles but they certainly increase power like all the big brand name chips do and they will also eliminate any digi lag on the 8v engines. for £20 who cares!

have a look for mk3 golf gti superchips on ebay. The advert will say if it will work in your car or not. If your not sure then post the adverts you find here and we will check for you.

Hi,
I just fitted my piggy back chip on air inlet valve..from e-bay...was unsure whether it would work but for under £10...you can't really go wrong.
Having fitted the unit I am amazed at the difference it makes not only does the engine runs smoother but the accleration is amazing...definaetly worth the mone :tongue:y. Rob.

It goes into the end of the connection that clips onto air temp sender on the airbox.  Just remove the connection and push the (5p) resister into the end.   I bought one a while back for one of my old cars but all it did was make my car drink fuel like a V8!!!!!!!!!   But id be interested to hear how you go on with yours.
