Hi all, whats everyones thought on this chip? http://www.turbonoz.co.uk/fiat-chips/TNTCHP00063.htmlClaims an instant 40bhp with no other mods, Raises boost pressure to 1.35 bar Boost no longer restricted in 1st & 2nd gear Retains the factory-standard overboost safety feature Finely tuned fueling & timing maps Improved overboost maps Anyone had any experience with these, seem very cheap or anyone have reccomendations? Many thanks

Are you sure boost is not restricted in the lower gears . We had a 2007 Fiat Doblo 1.9 jtd that was stuck in limp mode Changed many parts on the engine and turned out it was the three wire speed sensor was faulty . Because the sensor tells the ECU what speed the Van is doing it roughtly knows was gear it was in .Does the coupe have a three wire sensor ??

It works in the same way as the boost limiter on the 20vt, by monitoring how fast revs are rising. If revs rise too fast, then the ECU switches to a lower boost map. For all practical purposes 99.9% of the time this only happens in 1st and 2nd gear, so it's become common to refer to the boost limiter in that way. Of course it's possible that boost is limited in any gear if for example the front wheels are off the ground, one or both wheels are spinning on mud or ice, or the car is being driven at full throttle down the world's steepest hill. Equally if you're driving up the world's steepest hill at full throttle in 2nd gear with a couple of sumo wrestlers in the back + half a ton of stolen nazi gold in the boot then most likely the boost limiter would not be engaged.

I saw an advert on Ebay for a chip with exactly the same claims, I think it was £40 and came from Portugal. My thoughts were it seemed too good to be true but I have no experience of it. Is Flea still around? Spotted it again, it's a Novitec 1 or 2, and is £19!
