just a quicky we have a 54plate st170 just wondered if ne1 had used one and if it made any difference? cheers

gingeRS

not on an ST170 buy i have one on my RS and it makes a significant difference (but it is turbo)

i have my old renault 16valver chipped and although not loads oif difference the chip provided alot more low down torque!

A lot of money for a non turbo car mate, as already mentioned prob wont make a huge power differance.

theres a claim to 8 bhp m 10 lb witch aint much i know atm u can get them for the st170 for about 240 near me so its not a major loan amount if u know what i mean

240 quid for 8 bhp? Sounds like a bargain!

If it actually makes that much more power too I will happily give you 240 quid

i may invest n let u know how i get on with it
y did ur mate return it to standard set up on his 220?

i put a bluefin on my old 2 litre tdi leon fr, originaly 170bhp it then made 200.4 on the rolling road and 306lbft of torque, i used to put it back to standard everytime it went for a service. That was a 30 bhp/lbft increase, to be honest you would be hard pushed to notice a great difference, not like when you screw the boost up and chip an escort rs turbo, from 130bhp to say 180, totaly transforms the car, torque steer monster anyone? basically what im trying to say is im not sure you will really feel the 8 bhp increase, differance between a hot and cold day is probably the same.
