akacheesy 0 Posted September 3, 2005 If so where did ya get the chip from? How much does it cost? Is it easy to fit? Is it worth the effort? Any feedback would be gladly recieved :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fairzy 0 Posted September 3, 2005 Interesting topic, should you tell your insurance company aswell? Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timo. 0 Posted September 3, 2005 yup had mine done, makes it soooo smooth. Not really much more powerful, but it changes the engine into something more usuable. Cost me £250, got it done by Star Performance in Scotland, bit out of you way! You should tell the insurance company, but how can they tell?!!? Chip is hidden away inside the ECU. T.

Rpmayne 0 Posted September 5, 2005 I just got a universal BBR star chip and didn't really notice much difference really. Maybe abit smoother but after trying before and after times there wasn't any difference. Maybe a tailored map would be better but not sure its worth the £400 unless your engine is modified.

Claret Badger 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Timo - I'd change your avitar so you can't read your reg - all this talk of insurers and unmentioned mods n'all. ;¬) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dazzyvr6 0 Posted September 5, 2005 one of the best places for vw chips is amd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeNose 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Your not going to see much of a difference unless your car has other engine mods...mine had a Unichip fitted with the Schrick, even then I don't think it gave me any more horses, just enabled the Schrick to work in a smoother fashion. As a standalone mod on a vanilla VR6, better to spend your money elsewhere IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bees 0 Posted September 5, 2005 My 93 VR6 has a AMD chip and remap and have a printout reading 203BHP - as for the 'is it noticable' i could not comment as it was put on by prev owner but i do get some good MPG readings on the motorway which is always good for a VR :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
