Anybody have a superchip fitted with no other mods?

Any noticable improvments?

There's better (as in more power & considerably safer) things you can do for less money.
Safety depends on the person setting it up. Some places to it well, others do it badly.
For a scoob, all it is is really is a bleed valve (~£40) & fuel cut defender (~£120).
What MY is it for? & is it a UK or JDM?

More like £5 and £5 DIY or £90 for HKS FCD. Total under £100 whichever way!

Ok, ok, I was going for the 'I'm not very good at electronics' version
Anyway. Cheaper.
Probably need a boost gauge thrown in there as well, I suppose.
Then an AFR would be nice.
Knocklink wouldn't go amiss.
A pod to put them all in...
But then all these things are a good idea (an especially good one! ) if using the superchips effort as well!
