    Has anyone added a superchip.
    The type thats off the shelf from ebay for example.
    They claim small gains in the region of 25 to 30 bhp and 40nm torque.
    They also claim better mpg but I really doubt that.

    So if you have - did it improve power ?
    Any down sides such as higher temps ?

    So any takers ??

    If these worked mate, we would all have them and no one would need to bother spending a few hundred at a time on re maps

      You'll be better off getting one of those pedal box thingies members like to plug in. They deffo work and if you get advise from members who do run them, you know your'e not gonna get ripped off.

                It plugs into the ECU I think. Plug and play. Like this one on an Astra.

                  Rab, it just plugs into the throttle pedal, and sharpens response up,,, buy it, you won't be disappointed

                      Plugging something into the throttle pedal won't increase horsepower, but only makes the ECU think you press the pedal further. So basically you can get the same result by pushing you foot down more.

                        is it the same as a tuning box?

                          No,, it just intercepts throttle signal from pedal and sharpens it up,, there's 3 settings,, eco, sport and sport plus..... Sport plus in the biturbo is unusable in the wet ,, great fun

                            No one mentioned it added horsepower
