Custom map or off the shelf chip?

[G_Power 10]

It's going to cost me the equivalent of 170 quid to have a custom map made for my car with a piggyback chip on the rolling road.

 

Can you guys give me any advice about the pros and cons of going this route?

 

SNS advertise heavily about their 'no lag' programming. How do they achieve this and will any chip do the same thing?

what flavour rado do you have? edit - ahhh, im guessing from user name that its a G60, thus kind of rendering my line below useless lol

 

i know vince from stealth did live mapping whilst on the rollers for my VR - IIRC the VR has an open circuit ECU rather than closed circuit like in new golfs etc

Hi yeah it's a G60, well deduced :)

 

As for open circuit, closed circuit I haven't got a feck'n clue! I know a fair bit about engines but sod all about management.

Depending on your mods sns would be best for the money.

 

My chip was done by them to my specs... £110 delivered made 230bhp last time on the rollers

By the time you add shipping and duty at this end the price difference is irrelevant (over 18 Rand to the Pound doesn't help either)

 

I'm more concerned about, future support and the no lag programming (is this real or just marketing BS?)

 

The garage that I would use for the tuning have been recommended by a number of independent sources and have a very good reputation on the racing and tuning scene.

 

What makes SNS so good?

The no lag programming is the real deal, no hesitation on full throttle.

They have mapped just about every set up you can think of.

If you do encounter an issue a new chip will be sent to you.

Also if you change setup within 6 months they will do a new chip at half price.

Have you tried any of the other chips prior to sns? What setup do you have?
