    Performance chip for Ibiza 96

    Hello!
    I'm looking for one of those performance boosting chips, for my recently bought 96' Seat Ibiza.

    I'm completley clueless on internet searching, and found this forum through Wikipedia, so I thought someone could lend a helping hand.
    So can anyone give me some clues on how, or where can I buy one of those?

    I need the seller to be able to ship it worldwide (Eilat, Israel).

    Thanks in advance fellow Seat folks!

    Welcome!

    Great choice of car and fantastic value for money

    Be careful with chipping and understand the differences between chips, tuning boxes and flashes before you do anything. There are a lot of posts about altering ECU settings and they're mostly found in the Golf 5 and Polo sections of this forum. Just do a search. Also remember that you need unbiased comparisons when choosing which way to go. This sort of modification is in dangerous waters on internet forums

    Ive been on the hunt for a chip for my 16v ibiza for a while. GIAC are trying to sort one for me, but i havent heard back from them yet. SEATs are real popular in the UK and europe, im sure theres a heap of performance shops over there who could help.

    Please keep us informed about the 16V Ibiza chip. Maybe we can get two.

    I bought one off a pommie from ebay.co.uk. I have an 8V Ibiza, I am pleased with the chip, the car runs nice, need to run quality petrol as it's more prone to pinking.

    Not sure there is a big jump in performance on mine but I know that the 16V will get to 175bhp with just a chip.

    Will post a link in a bit

    I lost 2.5kW with a Powerchip on my old Ibiza 16v... I sent them both dynos and got a refund!! I've heard similar stories from Aussiefrogs with the GTI Pugs

    This was the overly expensive Gold 98 chip aswell
