Engine remap or superchip?

[spannah]

Guys,

Whats the difference, i have read a few threads on here and most people seem to prefer or go with the Revo Remap, has anyone done or used Superchips?

Superchips gains.

Audi A3
1996 - 2003
Engine type : Turbocharged Petrol
Engine size : 1781 cm3
Cylinders : 4


Original bhp : 150
Original nm : 210
BHP increase : 37
NM gain : 55
Lb/Ft gain : 41


Just would like to know if its better than a revo or any other referrable remap.

Thanks guys

People have used Superchips in the past. They have been selling generic remaps for a long time now, and have quite an established dealer network. They also work with almost any manufacturer so have pretty much got the whole market covered.

As to whether they are better or worse than anyone else - difficult to say. Only thing I would point out is that you will be getting a generic map for the car. Other suppliers can provide you with a remap carried out on a rolling road where the individual chip is tailored exactly to the characteristics of your car. You'll pay more for the latter, however.

After your car gets remapped obviously there are gains which must mean more wear on the car, are the cars internals more likely to wear after remapping?

these are the figures,as for wear it depends how you drive I haven't had any problems with my s3 (touch wood!)
