These things rarely work! You must have seen how many boy racers buy these?

They bolt on a "chip" that gives them 20hp, a "free flow filter" that gives them 10hp, and a "free flow exhaust" that gives them 15hp - and all of a sudden their 1.2 Corsa makes 120hp!

Not a good idea at all I'd say...!

It will be more responsive and you WILL LIKE IT


If the ignition is advanced, perhaps you will need to use super unleaded to avoid pinking? Make sure you do not knacker your motor.

Looks a bit too good to be true. But, at least you don't have to break the bank to find out that it doesn't do much after all.
Might have to get one to try it out.
