Im not expecting mass increase (20 bhp my arse) but will it improve my 1.6 ecotec. Currently running an induction kit, and have had air flow problems ie idles high due to more air going through than normal. Will this chip help the car run a lil better?
Any one used one?
Will there be a bhp gain at all? (even if its 5 bhp)
Thanks peps

As much as they get slated, ive never seen anyone or heard of anyone try one? If they are cheap as chips why not giv it a go?

I have -a few people off here using same logic tried them,
made no difference on one except poorer fuel economy, and another had severe engine management problems, IIRC

Dont do it!! Just over fuels the enigine as the chip puts more air into the engine and the ECU puts more petty in to compensate....

talking about corsa's only... the 1.4 1.6 inlet manifold is completely shit...
untill you replace this your not going to get any power increase... it should be mod number 1 if you want the car to go quick....

True, just a matter of cash. Ive noticed cracks both sides where the door closes, need new tyres, and desperatley need an alarm. Oh the joys of car ownership. 2 litre conversion, or buy a fast car in the first place me thinks.
