Simple answer... waste of money. Well if not done in conjunction with buying a £1000+ of other bit and bobs. You may get 10BHP if your lucky.

petrol turbos ane diesel turbo engines get "big" gains from a remap, u will be luckly if you get 10% increase approx 10bhp for approx £ 300!!

yeah you right normally aspirated engines just get low upgrades we charge £275 and you'll get aound 10-12 bhp and 15 nm of torque. but if your still intrstedhttp://www.tdperformance.co.uk

hey guys not sure bout a remap, i found a company in america called voloperformance who sell a chip which improves horsepower by up to 25bhp for 90 dollars. fits into the diagnostic reader nr ur gear stick. obd II port?!

anyone got any opinions on this? anyone heard of them before?/

cheers

if its what i think it is, it will just be a £2 resistor, total waste of money that just alters the amount of fuel your engine gets, in which case dont do it, you will never ever ever get +25BHP for $90.

Think they sell those daft things on ebay for about £5 to, that volo one has obviously just had a bit more time spent on it, hence the extra £.

Seriously tho dont even buy the ones off ebay it will just knack your car

you wanna be careful what your plugging into your obd port as well, the port is for diagnostics and reading and writing to the ECU I would not just plug anything in to there, plus if your still talking about the normally aspirated ebgine you'll never get any box that will get 25% EXTRA from a normal petrol engine. if you wanna tried and tested box for a diesel car viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9837
