Default Where to buy a "chip"

As per title really. Where do you recommend for ecu chipping or if possible remapping a standard ecu? I don't want to spend a lot of money, the cheaper the better as I'm not going for loads of power just a bit extra and hopefully a pop and a fart from the exhaust on the overrun and gear changes.

Engine is 1.6 zetec s

They make hardly any difference on the car you have unless you have

Full decat exhaust system and 4-2-1 manifold like miltek
Induction kit
Uprated cams


Unless you have all these I wouldn't bother, best mods on your car are suspension and brake upgrades

Will have a manifold and exhaust but I'm not putting cams in. Still not worth it?

The best thing to do is have the car evaluated as it stands and see if there are improvements to be made, nobody can guess.
