Question

Whats the chipping service PE offer?

My brother has a MY97 UK wagon, full 3in HKS decat and Blitz induction, the killer is the car is only producing .5bar boost which equates to a low amount of torque. 245bhp and 200ft/lbs torque.

What sort of figures should we expect with a remapped chip? How much does this cost?

Thanks

Paul

IMO their is something wrong if it is only doing .5bar, think they should be at least .7 or .9 on that age of car. Sort that out 1st, then think about a chip.

Hmmm, 0.5 bar is bang-on panic mode

I replied to your email. Basically the 97-> is for PE to worry about I'm afraid. The chip allows them to reprogramm everything including boost, fuel and ignition curves.

But you might do well just adjusting the actuator or using a different restrictor from the sounds of it. Something I don't have much experience with.
