   Im thinking of getting a superchip for my vtr. Just wondering if you peeps could guide me in the right direction of what to get and what work needs to be carry out. Cheers

   superchips are gash. get a dastek piggyback or have the standard ecu remapped. both cost around £400, although it depends which engine modifications you have as to whether you need it (if you're running standard cam then save your money).

   save your money then, you should be looking next at a full exhaust plus manifold.

   if your running all standard you will be lucky to see 5-6 bhp increase from a superchip. not really worth the money you pay for them, follow the advice above and you'll be fine mate!

    As sean says superchips are a waste of time an re-mapping the ecu is where its at but obviously the more mods you have the better the results.
    
    Dasteks also need mapping so a full re-map when getting cams an headwork done is deffo the best bet.
