Hi all,
For members who had or tried these kind of performance chips, are they really do the job? And is there any recommendations for specific brands?

Please I need your help.

Hello,

If these are the plug in boxes, I would definitely say NO. I put one on my previous S40 diesel and it just caused problems. After plugging in I went to try it out and took it for a spin, floored it off a slip road onto a dual carriage way and computer suddenly kicked in putting the car into limp mode (Felt like I hit a brick wall)

Get a remap done properly, I know there are people within this forum that offer MTE remaps, I had my done by demon-tweeks.co.uk and so far so good.

Depends what your looking to get out of it as well, but make sure you do your research before you get anything.
