Intresting 2.0 n/a chip

Post by Anton_K » Sun Apr 19, 2009 5:54 pm

A company named chippoint engineering seems to offer an quite intresting chip for the 2.0i engine. 126hp doesn´t sound that bad :) Ettore, possible? :lol:

Around 12% more power/ torque doesn't sound that unrealistic.

Price?

+ 1 again! For £600 I could get a Kent Cam and polished, ported and gas flowed head!! :lol: And I would imagine that that would be a better option for the engine than a superchip running on standard running gear!! And this would add the same amount of power lol!!

Yeah, shame about the price..

The idea of such a chip for the 2.0n/a is still tempting.
