artscot79 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 as long as the car is sound mechanically to start with and you do maintenance it will likely be fine the gearbox etc can handle more power than it does and provided the engines well maintained there shouldnt be any head gasket issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So how is it you get the copy of your cars map to send ? 😖 You plug the unit into the cars data port and it uploads a copy then you transfer it to your computer and email it to superchips then they monkey with it and send it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 next time I will probably buy a diesel so that I can get a lot more performance from chips, does it wear other components any more? Like clutch? Hi, or get a focus with a 1.6 ecoboost engine in it, it has a turbo and direct injection you will get similar gains to a diesel...
