upsolute are a chip tuning compny, my brother used them to get his last van chipped, it was a certain guy he used, www.ccctech.co.uk i think.

i would speak to them, the guy came to my brothers house and did it. i cant remember the charge, but if you speak to them they can do it to your needs, eg more bhp/tq. than listed. on the new van, they can take it from 177bhp to 235! it already spits out golf gti's tho so hes waiting bit!

and even though people say it can make them unreliable thats tosh, ours has been fine and if you drive it the same you save on fuel (but thats if you dont go sampling your new power by flooring it everywhere.)

look at www.upsolute.com

same thoughts here :D

the quietness and power was unbeliveable for a diesel
as i said yesterday there wasnt a lot of difference at low end between it and my petrol 280 auto :o
and i was great to put some names to faces today
i think it was a good couple of hours out for everyone

Not sure where they get their stats from... according to them my G does between 25mpg to 35mpg! :shock:

And they even promise 37mpg once chipped!
