A lot of these things arent even 'chip's they are just a VR that you solder inline with the AFM/MAF. | |

techicaly speaking it is remapping it as changing the ecu chip for one with a revised file, hence why it will have a higher rev limter | |

Anything that's sold as a "professional" item with Comic Sans font on it is something I'd steer clear of tbh :lol: | |

You can't get the XE ECUs re-mapped. Cams, you're looking at about £4-500 with vernier pulleys. | |

it says its not like cheap resitors tht trick your ecu. it apparently gives you a 500 rpm limoter increase but also they can raise it to what you want for free | |

yeah thats whats i have been told, not worth it, if you want it done get a remap. bit more expensive but will be better for your engine than this!! | |

im sure these just make the ECU think the engine is cold so it throws more fuel in. waste of time. | |
