Just fitted novitec chip and on road test car is missing on full throttle I know it’s not the best way to increase power but just wondering if anyone has had issues with this chip? Should I try a gtec 1? I don’t have a boost gauge by the way

Novitec can overboost a fair bit...might be causing it.
GTEC 1 not as aggressive on the overboost map...
Either way get a boost gauge at the very least, and a rolling road check on the fuelling, otherwise trying to save money by not doing it could result in a far bigger bill....

I’ve ordered a gtec 1 I’ve used them on my other coupe’s But thought I would try a novitec just out of curiosity, also noticed on here tuning list states £250 for novitec but I paid £25 so I’m not over confident in it, let’s see what the gtec does

The Novitec chip was one of the first ever produced for the 20vt and £250 was about the cost way back then, I bought a used one from Germany many, many years ago. Along the way I had a disastrous excursion with a Unichip, and have since used Gtec1/2 chips. But these days they are as cheap as, well, chips!

Mattcooke - Remove it as soon as you can - I had a novitec chip way back in the day and it blew cylinder 5 piston ring - very costly repair.
