This thead was opened for anyone who would like to know about racechips.

 

 It was on the third level (up to five or seven) when dynotested.

 

This car has it for two years now.

 

That power graph looks impressive...but as a diesel fan, where's the torque? :laugh:

There are two lines below. Those show the torque.

Racechip GTS indtalled and tested. 

At the moment with petrol it's like it got 12-14 hp. and with LPG 8-10 hp.


If LPG will be adjusted further, maybe it will balance out.

The performance is amazing. When went for the first ride test with the gts, it didn't show that much of a difference, but on the third ride, the difference is more than noticeable.

Send back the chip to upgrade it.

They did and sent it back. I tested it. It appears it is either the same or worse (not so fast) as before.

Racechip's support is excellent.

They took care of shipment costs and answered any question.

I shall inform if anything changes.

Racechip is really a ***** tuning. For that money you can get proper professional dyno tuning. 

Tried on Golf before, returned device after 3 days.

80-110 km/h 6-6,5 seconds 3rd gear stock.

80-110 km/h 4.6 seconds with 7th map Racechip GTS.

 

1.2-1.3 bar turbo boost pressure stock.

1.6 bar turbo boost pressure Racechip.

Sorry, didnt see that you are talking about Fiesta 2007. 

For the cars after 2015-2016 its a waste of money.

I am stating my case though.

Excellent support and aftersales service from Racechip.Excellent support and aftersales service from Master Direct for the LPG.

 

Yes I also had excellent support from the Racechip team. They really helped me with the reconfiguration of the device.

Also, they returned the money ASAP. Whole process is really excelent.

But at the end, Dyno didnt show more power on the car, just a few HP.
