I will ask the missus when I get home and let you know

If you could that would be great, i've been been looking at the cheap chips on ebay but am a little hesitant as they are so cheap and claim to give you impossible gains.

Let me know what its like once you have fitted it

how the fuel economy?
and does it need higher octane gas?

xwill112x · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2009, 07:28:17 PM »

you should always run 91 or 93 octane anyway, but when you chip it, you have to.

carlos318is · « **Reply #10 on:** April 12, 2009, 01:43:54 AM »

At the mo I am running normal unleaded it doesn't say if it has to run on a higher octane fuel but I will try it out any way but with the price of petrol it will just have normal petrol

These motors do make a glorious roar at 7200rpm. Enjoy it even if it only adds a few bhp. Just know that if these ebay people really are putting 318is' on the dyno and really are doing their own tuning, then the chips wouldn't be 50 bucks. Regardless 7200rpm redline shifts are jolly good fun.

All they would need to do is copy someone else's remap that has already done the hard work which would enable them to sell them dirt cheap, copying someone else�s set up is much like copying a CD and not hard at all if you have the right stuff
