Clouseau Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 i havent dealt with them before but i know of a reputable parts shop that deals with them. you need to post your ecu and in 2 days you get it back again chipped. thats the only issue if you cant be without your car.

david_phillips95 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 powerchips quote the gti map to go to 139bhp and 172nm. £200.Do they prove this with a before and after dyno? Thnaks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Do they prove this with a before and after dyno? Thnaks Davethat would be a bargain at that price. no they dont see your car, they take the ecu and post it back revised and ready to plug back in.i guess they have at least already had experience of mapping the lupo gti before to give a specific quote on bhp and torque figures, unlike some tuners who say "upto 20bhp" or something similarly vauge and meaningless.

Clouseau Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) there was no mention of other performance modifications. i will see if i have the site saved still. Edited April 22, 2007 by qually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) gains from powerchip gives the increase in top speed from 205kmh to 220kmh (127mph to 138mph)152nm @ 3000rpm to 172nm @ 2800 rpm. ( 112 lbft to 127 lbft )125hp @6500rpm to 139hp to 6600rpmif this is a correct before and after then it seems well worth it and might try it myself.

Clouseau Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) i have looked further into it and have seen these gains for the powerchip also..gainsso info is beggered up i think. but this seems more realistic figures. 137hp/ps up from 125hp/psand 167nm up from 152nm.and 205kmh to 207kmh. only 2kmh gain compared to 15kmh gain on other site, i think the other site must be wrong myself.

willcrook Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 i'm surpised theres no one here who has a remapped car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well, if you can get the ECU out without breaking it that would be a good start (considering it's glued in).And the top end power figures are a bit optimistic considering no real means of tweaking (e.g. a turbo).Highly dubious imo.

Clouseau Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Well, if you can get the ECU out without breaking it that would be a good start (considering it's glued in).And the top end power figures are a bit optimistic considering no real means of tweaking (e.g. a turbo).Highly dubious imo. 4 screws out then prise out cover which is held in with glue but only on the cover edges you can see the green board free of glue. but to get the powerchip you just post them the unit dont have to open it. mine is getting chipped today, should be getting it back tomorrow. onlything i broke were the 2 plastic clips holding the ecu in place. i always break clips.so will have to tape the ****** back in until i ask vw to clip it back in again with new clips.i spoke to the fitters and their records said 12bhp gain +10% torque. strange no figure. probably a guess. but anyway will be trialling it soon to feel the difference.

bossjohnc Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think a lot of people here would be interested in the results... keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I am interested too, but not liking the idea of posting the ecu. Would rather take it some where to get the superchip installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) they post it back the same day they recieve it normally, allow an extra day though. i posted it special delivery yesterday, they got it today and hopefully post it by end of day so i get it back tomorrow. but you can turn up at their fitting centre in cheshire if you dont want to post. there is no superchip for the lupo gti and they dont have plans to prepare any either is what they said when i spoke to superchips.

Clouseau Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) ok feedback so far is that its not worth the hassle of posting your ecu if a courrier is going to bring it back to you. as courriers are useless and dont bother finding addresses if it means getting out of the van. countless calls to courrier company trying to get through is making me crazy. hopefuly l will still get it today, have already seen the van once earlier and drive off again. grr.so top tip so far is inssist on powerchips use royal mail special delivery. royal mail always know local area so i have never had delivery problems with them.
