    I have a 115 version and friend has a 90

    Is there much to be gained by getting the chipped.

    Any recommendations near cork

    Simple answer , yes!

    More power , more torque.

    It's the best BHP per € mod you can buy

    And don't forget to inform your insurance company.

    Not the engines mate. Their as complex weather in a car or van. Add to that the possible less then scheduled services and being driven hard with weight in it will all add to possibly an engine that might not accept the power boost.

    I have no doubt that if the engine is in any decent shape it will handle a remap well. The problem is generally extra load on the clutch and flywheel.

    This statement is so out of the ball park one would give all weekend trying to explain.

    I presume he is referring to the trafic being fond of a gearbox ;)

    They will definately take a map, I got followed by one recently and it must've been driven by Sebastian Loeb, coz I had a hard time losing him :eek: he was faster than me on the straights ;)
