kuipers23 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi I am sure i saw a thread on this a while ago but I can't find it not. I have been looking on ebay at ecu's for my 2.0 16v. The price ranges from £3.50 to £45. I am sure the £3.50 ones are useless and will do more damage than good but I was wondering if anyone had bought the more expensive ones. Did it make any difference? I would like a bit more grunt but I am most interested in the fuel economy side. Don't want to waste £30-40. If anyone has bought and fitted one can you leave some feed back. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted March 10, 2008 Sounds like you're looking at after market chips rather than a full ECU. No idea as to what's hot or not, but would doubt a £3.50 one is going to do much good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 1 Posted March 31, 2008 I bought one of the "Powerchips" ones for my 2l 16v. It's actually a pretty decent buy (I got mine for £20). The torque is slightly better low down which is all I wanted really. I don't think the fuel economy is any better as suggested on thier ad but it certainly hasn't got any worse. I would stay well clear of those resistor module things on ebay for £3ish, they just trick your ecu into increasing timing, as opposed to being part of it like a proper chip and I hear they can cause damage.
