   Does not sound right to me. Even if it is right there would be no point fitting it unless you have a full PSA sport Group N rally spec engine and box.

   Group N chips do exist but personally id stay clear
   
   Read about them in PFC and they were saying that the chip makes the engine work to its best parameters in the eyes of pug/cit.

    Group N cars though used a specific cam profile, which is why the cup cars also had the ECU wich was sealed and not to be adjusted.
