Default Chip upgrade advice sought (UK)

I'd like to go for a cat bypass and chip upgrade. I've been looking at the
9tuning and promaxmotorsports chips. Does anyone have any experience of them, or are there others I should consider? Steve Wong in the US gets good write ups, but the cost is a lot higher.
Thanks.

Will do it was only £50, the guy that told me to get it is now running 354 hp motec plus one...with out Accell chip of course but for low gains he said it was great...to be honest I dont really expect the car to be much different with small hp gains, under sort of 280- 290 I doubt I will notice any difference, Im looking for 320+ with the motec for real difference.

But check the write up on ebay for the chip.

Paul,

I've got the ProMax chip in my car and was very impressed with the smoother drive immediately it was fitted. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you regarding the power gains ... but it's a MUCH smoother delivery and more pleasant to drive. I haven't regretted it.

Regards

Dave

Not expecting huge gains Dave, but hopefully a sharper response, and with deleted cat, an even better exhaust note.

I have the Promax chip and MAF, smoother and longer legs would be my immeadiate impression....not mind blowing...."JESUS thats a different animal" if you understand what I mean by all that.

Hey guys,

Do any of these chips get rid of the hunting when running from cold?

I dont seem to be able to get rid of it, or is it normal?

Good question,I'm still trying to track it down. For a while the idle was as steady as a rock, but the hunting has now returned...

According to my missus I'm absolutely the World's worst at multi-tasking - so if you want them done properly I'd recommend you not to!
