    This isn't powerchips in Australia, it's a fella with the same name in the UK.

    I saw a stunning maybe 6 KW increase on a Passat last year. It had an Australian Powerchip in and you wouldn't have known. I Custom-Coded it and the owner couldn't believe the difference with real software.

    It's all the same company AFAIK, as I ordered it through the Aussie dealer

    Some of the European chips are excellent. I had a JDE one in my blue Mk1 and it was awesome

    Got the chip i ordered a few weeks ago, but hadnt got around to fitting it till tonight. Alright, so i plugged the "Powerchip" in an took her for a short fang. First impressions are good. She starts ok.(Thank fook i put the chip in the right way). Nice smooth idle. Had'nt noticed much difference till i found a qiute stretch of road an gave her some welly. Oh Yeah, it defnatly pulls harder now. At about 80k's in 4th i buried me foot all the way, didnt take long to get see 180km/h, an there was some more to go. Dunno if it was my imagination, but i thought the induction noise sounded way better. At lower speed too, i noticed it was easier to get away in 3rd. Shes using more fuel, but not much more. Stock chip, id get around 7.5- 8ltr/100k. Now i get 8-9. Which i reckon is not bad. Tho it was still getting better mileage as i drove home. So id say its money well spent. Thanks again for the link Gavin.

    Me as a swedish person have to say even though seat is bigger here in europe it's hard to come by a good chip for ibizas and such.
    I've been planning to juice my car up but can't seem to find anything for it(not even in europe^^).
