super chip remaps the fueling system i do believe and will add around 4-7 bhp but depends on engine etc. the chip will erradicate flat spots and will make the car nicer to drive.

Not worth chipping a car till u have some stuff to run along the chip with such as air filter and cams. The Boost valve is good because it improves the pressure in you fuel rail but still pointless if you have a weak car

Totaly Agree

FSE all that does is raise fuel presure, which in its self will not give any or very very little gain in power. if however you have tuned ur car to quite a high state and are in need of additional fuel then u might consider getting one, but if that was the case id just get bigger injectors

on the chip side, it limits ur future tunning potential unless u dont mind wasting money, and eventualy buy proper engine management (e.g. MBE)

the superchip is designed for a standard engine and cannot be re-mapped, so when u buy additional tunning mods u cant re-map ur engine to its full potential

if u have a 1.2 then u may aswel leave the engine, get everything else done first e.g. kit and wheels and then save for a conversion
