Chip for a 2,0 petrol

Post by bargainbro »

Dunno if this subject belongs here but...

Has anyone tried a tuning chip to a 2,0 petrol 6 (without a turbo). Came across to one of those in the net...Experiences anyone? Does it increase the torque at all or is just plain bs the whole thing?

Think I´ll just renew the breather parts and skip the chip...I´m sure there´s more sense in just doin´that rather than throwing my money outta window. I´ve always been quite sceptical about these tuning chips anyway... :evil:

They DO work... but not unless you modify your engine first. Turbo diesels are of course a different matter, and can gain anything up to 40bhp just with remapping the ECU.
