The guy being so persistent to sell you a tune is a fair indication that they dont sell.

Generally things don't sell for a reason. Good products sell themselves.

Powerchip have been around for ages... Before dyno / custom tuning became mainstream like it is today, they were a very popular choice to extract a bit more power etc etc etc. Their maps are based on R&D & as they offer some sort of warranty, they are never going to push your car to it's absolute best. Nor will it give you the full benefits of mods you may have done to the car.

I actually used their product in my old E36 BMW M3... Only gave a 12kw & 20nm gain, but it did make a lot of difference to the drivability & on he butt dyno sure as hell felt more then the minor gain they specified. This was back some 10 years ago by the way.

IMHO, a custom dyno tune is better value & is likely to get you larger power & torque gains in this day & age.
