why would you want one?

take your car to a tuner and they will set it up on a chip designed for the car, that will only boost to a llimit that your car is safe at.

You're both talking bollocks

Most chips remove the boost limit totally. It's down to you to tune the car accordingly then...

How are the chips bought at Burton? They are said to be made by Bayjoo.

20 years the RST has been around, and some tuners still don't know what they're doing

Who set your car up ?

As far as I'm aware, you can increase the boost pressure as much as you want once chpped. It's the rest of the engine that needs to cope with it that's the problem. Intercooler being the main starting point.
