So Race Chip fitted, today i have learned that the engine cover is clipped in place (good to know) & apparently when the bonnet is lifted the ecu limits engine performance ... presumably as a safety measure which seems sensible but worried me considerably having just fitted the chip and started it up only to find max revs at about 3.5K rpm! ... so I tried shutting the bonnet and voila it has a nice crackle when you blip it now :-)
I've Only had a quick squirt up around the M'way but even just driving down to the junction it feels more eager and responsive the increased torque shows in much better indicated mpg when climbing hills in 6th ... I'll have a better idea after tomorrow as I have to drive across derbyshire and back .... perhaps the snake pass on the way back though the speed limit has sort of ruined it now...
