superchip good idea or bad idea
hi all i have just started tuning my beloved vectra, i got a k&n panel filter and was just thinking of getting a twin exit exhaust when a friend said he put a superchip in his vectra and got massive gains straight off the bat . i was just wondering what u vectra gurus thought about them good or bad???????????
What engine m8?
2.2 sri
on that note, how much power would a super chip add to a 1.8. one place said i can gain 6-10HP with a re-map?
Which leads to the question - why bother with the expense?Originally Posted by chrisk318
Re-maps, as far as i can gather, only really affect the turbo diesels to any extent worth bothering with.
I have a 2.2Direct Petrol and there's not a lot I can do with mine either that I haven't already done. Not that it's exactly slow anyway
managed to get 138mph down the autobahn in a 1.8, still wasn't enough
Hmmm
I think that people get too hung-up on how much extra power a re-map will give.
Very often its not the increased horsepower that is most noticeable, (or even necessary), but improved response and driveability
Just my opinion...
...and they aren't too shabby on petrol turbos either!
They certainly do that, but a good extra dollop of bhp and torque is most certainly noticeable.I think that people get too hung-up on how much extra power a re-map will give.

Oops, good point...and they aren't too shabby on petrol turbos either!Turbos in general of course.
Now I want a turbo
lovely only thing they do is raise the rev limiter lol get engine mods ie. cams an so on the get it mapped or a unchip , dastek piggy back ecu
