Ive had an Mtek chip fitted for just over a month, think it must give differing results.

Still 'evaluating' it but wouldnt say its made any noticeable differences.

But saying that i haven't been on 'a long run' with it so its little difficult to tell

30ps from using 98ron fuel over 95ron?  or is that just an exageration feeling?

As Dave said, chips are not superchips ones, these are written by a proper tuning company who have been around ALONG time.

Currently we have the chips on offer, so they are cheaper than £150.

the spark plugs will do absolutely nothing to improve the car, unless you buy the correct plugs, and are replacing incorrect plugs, but then all you'd be doing would be recovering any loses.

Precious metal spark plugs really only mean that they have a longer service life and can run a closer gap, however the twin electrode vauxhall omega plugs do pretty much the same, as when one electrode wears, the spark will jump to the other.

I wouldnt see the spark leads as a performance upgrade - a preventative measure for failing spark leads or to replace failed spark leads.

the enlarged throttle bodies - we are testing some soon hopefully, and these will be alot cheaper than others i have seen advertised if these proove to work.

M-Tek,

What info do you need from us to see if you have the chip for our car, the ECU p/n off of the case?  Does it require 97/98 RON?  Does the price include VAT?  I take it you just send us the EPROM, or is it safer for us to send you ours so you can be absolutely sure you have the right chip??  (My laptop may have beaten me, but I think I can handle putting an EPROM in  ::) )

Cheers,

Theo

I need the chip number and the ecu number.  

currently offering them at £130 all inc.

I send you a new plug in chip - takes about 10 minutes to do.

you can run it on unleaded or super, it will perform better on super.

So the chip u sell is a plug and play affair then? Im planning on getting a pair of sports cats and a full cat back s/s dual exit exaust system fitted, would it make any difference to which i fit first? i.e would you recomend fitting the chip before or after the exhaust or doesnt it matter?

How easy is it to fit? and whats involved? do you sell them on an exchange basis? and last but not least is it worth it on an auto (3.0 btw)?

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated

Sorry for all the questions, lots i know lol

Hi Jim,

The chip is just a plug and play, and how do you mean exchange?  Its a seperate chip, you remove the old one and keep it if you want to put it back in.

It doesnt matter which you fit first.

I have one in my auto, laidback in his auto, and it made a difference, so yes, id say it was worth it.

Its easy to fit as well.

I would say that the Mtech chip is the safest choice as it is offered in a good price and there are so many people that have tried it. Go for it.
