sorry it goes on for a bit but basically wanted to know if anyone has one fitted and if they work, if they are worth the cash etc etc or if not, any suggestions for increasing bhp

i have a Dastek Uni-chip in my digi. its  reprogrammable so it can be tuned and set on the rolling road to suit, match and compliment my exsitng engine mods and not try to suit an average set up as a fixed chip would.

its was a bit pricy but most of the cost was rolling road time.

yeah i seen that one at a quid.. surely they must be crap at that price.. wanted to know if anyone had seen an improvement with these. 6bhp for a quid sounds ok in theory

i think one of the members had one of these cheaper chips ''copies'' fitted to their Digifant.

had good results on the rolling road but cant remember who it was ?

i'm not looking to spend anything under the bonnet at the moment, i'm happy the way it is for no. just wondering if i should get one of these for a little extra bhp at low cost..
