Default any1 had thier van chipped?

ive got an 08 reg 311 spriner van and was thinkin of havin it done
its currently 110 bhp and i think you can up it to 150bhp with a chip

has any1 here had it done? especially if you got a sprinter.

and can any1 recomend any1 to do it?
i live in south london so the nearer the better.

cheers

contact your local evolutionchip dealer,they will probably do you a deal on the price,and you are then getting the best available,quite a lot do mobile.but you are a bit too far away from me.

must admit that sounds apealing for the journeys to and from london and crewe - but luckily i claim all my fuel back thru work - so to justify £400 for a minor gain is hard to warrant.


but what has really caught my eye, is that i never thought my astravan could be worked on in that way, and it would appear that it can be - with some really good results


Blimey, and the Discovery which is a far amount cheaper - which is whats going to be needed more so when towing.


i hate these posts, it spends all my extra money just from reading

Lloyd, looking thru the list of Dealers i think id rather go thru yourself mate.

in many ways it makes sense as i kind of know who you are rather than a joe bloggs compnay ive never heard of, and your hardly out the way when im at Reyland almost bi-weekly, and to me id rather be putting the money in your pocket - thats if you were happy to take on the job.

ill most definatly be in touch mate.

cheers for the input

Its not a minor gain though,when i have remapped vans for evo chips,dependant on make and model,some have seen a massive gain in torque which totally transforms the vehicle,every customer i have dealt with has been well pleased. One customer got an extra 7mpg aswell,which worked out 105 miles more to a tankful and a saving of £28 a week. phone a evochips dealer for a quote as i am sure they can do it cheaper than £400
