OK,

I've gone through as many threads and searches as I can on here and the RR.Net forum, I know that Tasmod is a Turbochip dealer and that JE and Jeremy fearn are also contenders.

I have no idea of cost for this but was told today by my colleague at work he is having his TD6 chipped next week and its only costing £350. I'm not sure who is doing it.

Anyone got sensible opinions on whether its worth it? L319 D4 HSE

It's worth it.

But I'm sure JE or Jeremy Fearn could do a few more compatable engineering modifications as well as the chip to really make a difference  TDV6 - gone

On my TD6 3.0 I had a unit that re-mapped the ecu via plugging into the OBD port like AMD etc- using this box you could change from "chipped" to standard at the push of a button and the car went like a rocket!

The unit cost around £140 & the re-map was around £120 (TRADE FAVOUR PRICES - NORMALLY £700) and I have the programing unit to put the re-map into the handheld unit if you decide this is the route you would like to take.

I can make enquires for you if this appeals!

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON ANY SPORT I'M AFRAID ONLY TD6 - before anyone asks

Some people do make them to fit the sport Doc, they just interface into the ECU plug instead. There are lots of these types on the market now but they do not work as well as the Turbochip method. The answer is you get what you pay for  You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing.

That to me seems a much better way of doing things, you can switch it off when you want and back on later. I seem to recall they do something like this for the mini

Yes, it was called a "one click" there great but they wont work on the latest generation ECU's

Oh right Doc I got you now
I thought you ment the Unichip one

OK, I spoke in person to the garage who were going to do the chipping on my friend's RR TD6. It seems it's a PS1 box he called it, installed in the ECU box under the bonnet, said it would boost power to 'over 200bhp'. Not sure if I liked the sound of it, any comments? L319 D4 HSE

I think he means a PSi performance box...common rail pressure box from belgium....I had one on a peugeot 206 diesel...good performance gain but quite a bit of smoke.

Hope this helps

The Northampton based TC fitter (Alastair) quoted me £499 inc VAT for the chip, I asked him if he did any deals for Cash and any discounts for members of the forum, his reply was pretty "Customer Unfriendly"* - he made a point of saying that I may be a member of this forum but I don't have a RRS and that yes, he did accept cash, and it would be £499 inc VAT.

nice....

I've just got back into the tuning market after selling my own chip tuning business a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure that there will be a massive discount for forum users once I've sorted the advertising with Martin

Anyone up for a group re-mapping day?

There's no need for attitude when discussing discounts, but i have to say that in my business i get offered cash a lot and my response is the same, the price quoted is the price quoted regarding of the method of payment, but i will always have a haggle, especially if the customer is part of a group that uses us on a regular basis


He obviously doesn't want/need the business some of my Previous cars
