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?

Re: Chip for a 2,0 petrol
without some new breather parts, I really wouldn't bother....

Re: Chip for a 2,0 petrol
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...

Re: Chip for a 2,0 petrol
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.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
