Seller gives you accurate figures about the power increase, so he should have a dyno chart. If not, he’s a liar and gets these numbers from a thin air.  I would ask him if he gives any money back if you do a dyno and it won’t reach that level…

Do a search, there are plenty of discussions on here on this topic (M-Tek or ebay chips).

They do give increase but 232 is bit optimistic

Most likely it's a ripped off copy of a chip and the seller is unable to support it to any extent. He's probably getting the blank chips for a quid each in volume and spending 30 seconds programming each one. Easy money.

The power gains are very appreciable, up to 232HP and 305NM.

I think this pretty much sums it up. Avoid IMO
