Folks

I recently bought a 66 plate 20i. I’m reasonably happy with the performance but I am contemplating getting it chipped. Presumably there are probably a number of you who have done this? What’s the collective experience of performance gains, impact on fuel consumption, etc. Any positives / negatives that I should be considering?

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards

Chris
 
Well I can't speak for performance etc, but one thing to maybe think about or check is if your insurer will cover your car after you chipped it. Mine (eSure) wouldn't so I had to leave it :(

But I do know a few folks on this forum have chipped 20i's before and have had good experiences.

Hi these amongst others go through the pros and cons of remap and plug in boxes..
 
Look at Celtic Tuning if considering this. Got mine done a couple of weeks ago, and above 2500rpm it now absolutely goes, especially in sport mode. They claim 280bhp from their stage 3 remap that I got, but will need to arrange a visit to a rolling road to get this verified.
