Not saying that it added 6bhp, but i had one of these things a while back (nearly 2 years) and it did certainly make a difference. The car pulled a lot harder to the redline and it was quite easy to hit the limiter as it still felt like it was pulling. I would say that over roughly 4k is where it made the difference.

Just out of interest, for the people that always slag these things off, how many of you have tried them? That isn't a sarcastic/arsey comment, it is a genuine question  :smiley:

Must admit, I'm very tempted to give one of these ago.
I have heard quite a few good things about them, even if they don't add the HP.

Bit nervous about taking my ecu apart though   :undecided:

Just get a boost valve to give the fuel more of a spray than a blast. :)

I have 1 of the Powerchips "chips" in my Jetta, havent had it on the rollers, but it has greater pulling power, and loads of mid range torque, would recommend 1 to anyone on here, would have better advantages on other cars ie, Golf, due to my car being heavier, and my car also has a cat converter on it.

That's fair enough, can't really argue with that.

However, as has been said on these chips before, what is there to say that they are not just a copy of the Superchip map or any other make? For the year that i ran mine for i didn't have any problems with it, although it wasn't the exact one from this seller.

Call it the marmite mentality.

either love them or hate them.

I don't justify the money personally.
