    You're wasting your time. This thread will becoming a flaming match, or closed or both.

    Apparently, some people are unable to give an objective opinion when it comes to chips. Which kinda sucks as it means anyone who's interested in getting a chip to suit their needs has to trial them all, or just pick the one they think has the better name.

    I still don't get why chip discussion is so taboo. No one is going to care if someone says I think tyre X was a better fit for my needs tyre Y. But chips? It ends in tears.

    Ask your question, Max. But ... be aware, no one can quantify one as being better than another without the trials.

    I think all people are asking is opinions, pros and cons, other peoples experience with the whole process. No one is asking for the defenite best. I can see where max_croft is coming from, we very regularly critique our whole car and discuss the pros and cons of everything about it, why is it hard for us to talk about chips I don't know what the secret is yet but i'm hoping to try more than one and try to give an unbiased opinion while trying to minimise any variables. Or maybe ill pick one over the others and join the chip warrrrsssss heheheh

    id like to see if anybody could really tell the difference between them all, they are only minor but the feeling in your pants will still be the same. you'l be more than happy with what ever brand you use.

    If you look at dyno charts associated with the various flash tunes, you can discern some differences in power curves.

    problem with dynos are they are all different and show a wide variety of power diferences.
    but im more talking about when your driving the car, it would be really hard to tell the difference between a few kw's and a bit of tourqe.
