Regarding box, you need a good AR35 to replace your AR25. Serek (member) had two before Christmas.

Chips are definitely worth it mate. I got mine done just before xmas off of the gent people know on here, and I love it. Although I am getting ideas of seeing if he can find me a more high powered version  :-[ ;D

Mainly because if the improvement was that good with that chip what would be the next stage?!

Cases where the box getting more than 20 miles up the road after chipping, hugely outnumbered to those that have been stripped.

You will need to upgrade that box before you chip  :y

I have a manual box so a little bit different, but it just made the car pull, it was very sluggish before and just was not what I expected. From now though that it has been chipped it is perfect, just pulls right through all the gears.

Tbh you would be just as well getting the chip as a mapping session would cost you upwards of £150 and the chip is alot less. There is no point in a mapping session when you aren't upgrading anything ;)
