have any of you 2.0 cc guy's had a chip added if so what's best ie piggy back or replace the original? Also have you seen on E-bay a uni-chip that you fit in min's for all non turbo's what do you think???

The e-bay chips - is that the ones for less than £20?
If so, apparently all they are resistors to trick the ECU into thinking its colder or something and firing more fuel and air in than normal, making go quicker.
Will this cause damage though?????

I had mine on a rolling road a couple of months back and the operator advised that it was running slightly lean, as most do this from the factory for emissions etc. he suggested the
Dastek UniChip for £400

this is essentially a piggy back ECU
