Default Chipping Rs2000

Hi guys,

Wondering whats the best way to getting my car chipped?

I was thinking about live mapping. Any use to me? Or would say a superchip do it for me?

I know MD do the Evo chips and as your all aware there are many others on the market. Just dont know which one to go with.

im planning to go for an MSD Evo chip in mine to get all my mods working together, but may have a problem due to the nitrous i want to run.

i *believe* not 100% sure that a superchip is just mapped for a general rs2000, where as a evo can be mapped to your cars spec.

best to speak to stu though

Ive had a superchip in one of my rs2k but had alot of problems with it car not starting right etc..they also can be slightly mapped for different mods ive been told.

Have a collins powerchip in mine at the mo and its been fine..and work very well with other mods i have..

Check ya ecu for a code. ring collins up order it your get it next day and plug it in easy to do..

i've got a custom chip for my 2.3 engine from Motorsport Developments, it's a must for my engine but i think they could squeeze a few more horses from a original one, had a collins on my old 2.0 engine which didn't make a huge difference but worth the money

i got an evo chip from motorsport developments on my 4x4 and its great. alot more responsive in the lower revs. it now pulls hard from 2500rpm instead of 3500. my fuel seems to last longer know but no prove on that. it cost £200 and i got it in the post the next day
