Chipping is when the engine e.c.u. has its software re-written to enable the engine to produce more power.
It's not usually recommended for your engine, the fuel pumps are fragile enough.

Thank you for your reply. at least now I know what chipping does. and as pumps for my car are £1200.00 I think I will leave it alone.
Cheers
