   Was just wondering if there are chips on the market for a vtr. My mate got a piggy back chip for his rover brm and its made quite a noticble power gain. Not to sure if people do it or if its worth it??

   Fair enough. They that bad. I just want a tiny bit more power. Do alot of night time country road driving and it doesnt quite have enough power to be spot on.

   Ummmm those sort of chips make no difference to power.
   How Ebay let people sell them claiming 40bhp difference is beyond me
   
   If a chip could give you ++bhp then people on here wouldn't have spend thousands on uprated cams and turbochargers

   lol perfect for where I live in MK as its short blast roundabout to roundabout. Shame I go track too which means it would be no good for that.
