    i tested a few chips on my old valvers (powerchps, super chips and another 1) but i found that non of them was anygood. tbh yeah they rev high! but infact it makes over all time i got at pod slower. standard limiter, good ss exhaust and decat with decent airintake good sevice is best thing u can do to a valver,


    most gave a revlimit of 7800 which was STUPID IMO!!!! lol

    the best run i got was with tu the chip with standard lmiter and good serviced engine

    well if all they do is to raise the rev limiter thats no good
    in fact i would think ,a chip of that sort would feck up
    the engine in no time

    i was looking for something that would actually
    improve the pull in the low rev range (below 3.5/4k )


    lunner : dont think gunner does chips for f7p s mate ??

    tbh i dotn thnk any 1.8 16v chip will work lol.

    + dotn see he point unless u have cams and headwork. wotn rly make a difference to a std engine unless u get it remapped properly but even then it wont be much.

    i had a clio coupe chip as seen on ebay, and the difference was impressive tbh, gave a similar gain to my gunnerchip did on my f7r, nice high rev limit and smoother but my old red valver had a freak of a 1.8 anyway, cammed etc and drank no oil whatsoever

    HI i have a "clio cup" chip in my 1.8 valver with a 8000rpm limiter with a very sound motor it pulls to that allday everyday and has done for a yr now.i also have a williams 2.0l f7r in a trackcar with a "superchip"chip with a 7,220 limiter i find it hits the limiter to quick,essp around the track i had my 1.8 around rockingham on a set of slicks in which i overtook my work mate in a 3.2 911!!!as i found it amazing of how it pulled me out of corners in second gear and still had rpm left and not cornring on the limiter @7200 and changing to 3rd and not having the rpm there to pull it out of a corner!

    I got a chip off ebay £40 and thought it was a complete waste of money for my Valver. Didn't run as well and couldn't feel any difference. In the end I put the standard ECU back in. My advice don't waste ur money.

    ive never found a chip that actually made and difference to my valvers it was better with out the chip!! ive used 3 types of chip also.

    unless u got cams etc then there is no point IMO!

    the chip i got off Mr.AdamB was a powerchips, didnt notice any particular increase in power but no loss noted, it revs to 7500/7800 depending temps etc

    the big thing i noticed was on track being able to hold on a touch longer in certain corners etc, esp at donington as i did that without the chip then 2 week later with the chip
