No Idea to be honest!

Chip is 60 quid, so will have to wait and see...

Its claimed upto 20bhp extra and 25nm (I think). However, If I gain 1/2 that then I can't complain for 60 quid!

MPG wise, I dont know... Be nice to see it go up, but who knows! Providing it doesn't drop by more than a couple mpg on a run, then im happy!  ;D

I bought one about 18 months ago, MPG actually increased, and according to rolling road bhp went up to 223bhp, and I only paid £39 for it!!

Was a bit nervous so shelled out for an M-Tek one (£150 iirc), and although better than the standard GM one there was no noticable difference between it and the e-bay one  :)

TBH, its a bit underpowered for a heavy car, I think if you wanted more performance you want to start with a v6 as a base
