Superchip does anyone know

[McRic]

I've got the chance of a superchip piggy back module for my 1.8 zetec can anyone tell me if these still make good power gains and if they are easy to fit?

Super-chip IMO will only make the car more 'responsive'.You won't get much of a power gain.Does make a BIG difference on turbo charged cars,as you can 'iron out' flat spots, reduce det ing, control boost, etc. Al.

Al will it give me the same gains as an internal chip which is about 7-8 Brake. I know it doesn't give you much extra power but it is supposed to dramatically change the torque.

The benefit of the piggy back super chip,is that it can be plugged in 'live' to a laptop, and the settings can be adjusted as the car is driven. Al.

So does that mean I'll still have to go to a dealer to have it fitted

Will the gains still be similair to the internal chip, sorry to keep asking but I ain't got a clue

You do you keep asking about an internal chip?? The superchip is a unit that doesn't replace the manufacturers chip,it piggy backs it,and enhances it.Authorised Superchip suppliers will install and set it up for you. Al.

well actually it wont give u much BHP but there will be more torque. it will add bout 7-8 BHP, u will ave to get a superchip supplier to fit it as i needs to be set up with a laptop.. which means u can set it up while driving

IMO chips only produce power gains in a turbo car afew extra BHP is all you'll see and a few extra in a heavy car aint gonna matter much, personally i wouldn't bother but thats just my opinion, enjoy whatever you do

[McRic]

and you said you knew nothing about it Si

Thanks Al I think I've finally got the grasp of this one

Been offered it for £65 is it worth the money?

Don't worry this one won't go on and on

As JB has said, you will have a few extra BHP,but you won't notice it much.I personnally would spend my £ else where.Al.

for all the help money better spent on spats or something then.
