Performance chips?

Thanks for all the feedback guys,

Keithr I think your right this could go on forever I feel I am better off saving my money and save up for a car with more tuneable engine. Still waiting to hear about from superchip about refund but after all comments am I going to definitely get a refund! Think I will spend money are other mods such as suspension etc!

Well all depends on how much the cars means to you as we all become attached to our cars, but any way suspension is always good as it will transform your car and make it more satisfying to drive especial if you drive it hard.

Just before we go slating Superchips too much, this is what can be done for Fabia vRS with hybrid turbo. Don't think you'll get a better mirror image I'd say!
The chip has obviously done the business here -

Ah, just a minute. Just discovered the graphs in my previous post will have come from Superchips own website. I'll reserve judgement. Thought they were a bit too good to be true!

power and torque are up in those graphs, but the power delivery is a bit rough!

thought it was ideal to have a very smooth power graph readout?

Installer of chip got back back to me today and is in consultation with superchip about the increase I got. He has been excellent and kept me informed as they said they should be able to get "more out" of it and get my torque graph back to what it was. I really think I have caught them out here with the RR printouts. Will hear from installer on Friday or Monday but he has guaranteed to improve performance or refund my money. Can't grumble!

Most people will get it fitted and just assume there's an increase. But you followed the suggestion of getting in on the rolling road before/after. It's the only way to see the difference.

Faulty chip maybe? Only way to find out is to try another I suppose. But then it's back to the rolling road, and it's costing you more money. Is your car standard otherwise?

Yep apart from K&N filter
