I am ordering one, and I will see if it makes any real difference

Well I'd be happy to be proved wrong so let us know what the outcome is. Do you have a dyno facility where you can do a back to back comparison?

Swapped em out this morning! Took it out, warmed it through then reset the adaptives.

Only got a 10min run in really, but first impressions are:
1. Smoother idle
2. Flat spot is gone
3. Feels as though it pulls harder up around 5k onwards.
4. Less BANG more pop!

Will need to take it out for a good run to really tell, could be placebo effect etc I guess!

Had a drive up Glenshee today to properly test out the chip...



Basically confirmed my thoughts earlier - definitely smoother power delivery, less bangs from the exhaust but more smaller pops, flat spot has gone.

It feels as though it picks up pace after 5k more than it did before, but I may be imagining that....

I haven't tracked MPG bit would be interested.

Lovely drive though, such a special part of the world!

Late to the party, but I did eventually fit one this year.

I shoudl have done it years ago.

The responsiveness is noticably better, idles better and you can feel more torque.

A simple cheap, but effective upgrade. 10/10 for Dom again.
