   leave it in mate. Aint worth the hassle of taking it out and replacing it with a standard chip. It just usually makes the car a tiny bit faster and improves bhp. Not worth doing anything to it mate

   I would take it out as if your wanting to add more engine mods it cant be mapped to them.

    you cant 'take it out' as such. its not an actual chip. its just a program downloaded via the diagnostics port. a superchip dealer can restore the factory settings for you.
