I want to know what chip to get i dont want a superchip really unless it was 2nd hand, so what one Power+ chips are £450 + rollling road, TDI are £450 but are superchips so what can i get that is near to me? I dont mind London or Essex area £450 seems expensive even if it is everything in.

Nothing wrong with a Superchip stage1, i have been running one for a while and have had no problems since the mix up at the start.

£450 is expensive, shop around.

cheers :smile:

I'm going for an Ahmed Bayjoo chip, apparently you can't beat 'em on driveability. Getting it done through Castle Performance. Price is 'bout £600, I know that's expensive but is that because it's A B, anybody know somewhere that does them cheaper?

Thank you :smile:

£600 :eek:

You have got to be joking ??

DO NOT PAY THAT!! that is a ridiculous price. You will get a chip a lot cheaper than that.

Forgot to mention that it includes uprated actuator, new plugs, fitting and setting up. Does that make the price any more reasonable?

Think thats still abit much but maybe you should buy the chip second hand and get it setup there. trust i have had a 165 bhp superchip in my car and thought it was alright. Quick enough at the time. Now I have uprated. I still have my 165 chip in my car but it will be changed for a ahmad one.

His chips are ment to be the best. Phone him

AHMED No questions about it!

Do you have any idea what 178.8mph feels like in a Fiesta? 2000 lb of pressure per square inch per second pushing back on your face. It feels like god himself is trying to rip the skin off your skull while someone lands a 747 on your chest.
