sure, but from a plug in 50 quid chip?  it's a bit like when you dynojetted your bike, what you actually saw was throttle response and free breathing, and mistook it all for big power.

Isn't that just then"Sport" button on the latest Vx's?  DIdn't notice any difference on an Astra SRi, bar sharper throttle response..didn't go any quicker overall!

what do you want for a button ??  

Preferably what it says on it...guess you can't polish a turd...

Can't see the point of these "sport" buttons. Total gimmick. What does it tell the ECU that an accelerator pedal embedded in the carpet doesn't?

if this improves the MPG, it's worth the 50 quid alone. I can't really see as has been said, how the torque and bhp can be improved by the claimed figures, but if the fuelling is sorted then that's great.  I'm seeing around 22mpg according to my display at the moment, and while I understand it's a V6, high 20's would be nice.

To get high 20's mpg from this chip, simply place it in your right shoe, spiky side up, before driving.  

Mine is currently doing 27.4 (MV6 auto).

now you're just showing off!

Mine's only doing 20MPG these days...

Fuel's half price though.
