Chipped UK - ST3

Anybody used this ST3 map uploaded gadget from Chipped UK? http://http://www.chippeduk.com/products/ST3.html

Can hold 3 maps e.g. Std, Fast Road & Track all for £399

The Audi forums have had a group buy for £299, seems to be postive reviews as well! http://http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/...ad.php?t=66686

330d stats:
Fast Road +38hp and 80Nm torque + 3mpg
Track + 43hp and 110nm torque.

Cheers.

I suggest you do a wider Google search on Chipped UK before you commit your money... best to be fully aware of their history

Have you got a specific link?

First 3 google pages only shows one negative issue and that is due to a reseller charging a card wrongly...

Would be interested to hear what you find out about this product 'TMP'. Their base is round the corner from my Aunty which might result in brownie points earned for a dual purpose visit!!!

I might be wrong, but you sure your not mistaking lbs/ft and NM?

I am pretty sure Evolve, DMS and Superchips all offer more bhp and similar or more NM or LB/F....

In fact, the advertised Evolve map is 90 nm so your right on that one, but that is also more conservative than Evolves claimed BHP is nowadays too - so it stands to reason that Evolve could get you 110NM if you wanted.

The gains on the 330d are 90-100 Ft/lbs and 50-60 BHP. I will get it changed on the new website.

In effect then, a lot more than 110 NM.

Ah shizzle.

All my numbers were based on 335D's as well not the 330D as the OP said. So ignore everything I have said, call me a clown and paint my arse purple.

Indeed!

Pop into BMWland,put the company name in the 'search' facility, and all you get is loads of headings along the lines of:

"I had my car done by *********"

"********* recently chipped my car"

In fairness, I think their reputation is history now, unfortunately people have long memories.

My Evolve 330d map dynoed at 290bhp and 660Nm but I did ask for a little more than normal (it only had 6K on the clock when mapped so may have changed)
