Hi, I'm new to the forum, I have just bought myself a Coupe 20vt, in yellow. Pretty much standard, it has a supersprint cat back, and a novitec chip.
Was wondering if these chips are any good? And are the (newer) g-tec ones better?
Have found the guides helpful so far, keep up the good work!

Gtechs are better than a novitech, novitechs have fuelling problems from memory. Probably at one time of all the cars that were chipped, 80-90%+ were gtech cars. A live remap is a better option, but alot more costly. So if you are on a budget or just don't want to spend loads then the gtech is a tried and tested option for an easy 25-30 bhp. That said you should still get your fuelling checked and check that everything is OK. Also, Poweritalia, a well respected specialist are just down the road from you in Laindon

Sorry to sound like an old fart (no comments please guys ) but get a "health check" done on your engine before any mods and that way, you have a solid baseline to work from. In the past I've had a Gtech 2 (with supporting mods) and am now running a Gtech 1. I've also had a Novitec but as JimO says, the fuelling was mad. The Gtech's are a very cheap and tested way of improving performance but if you can run to it, get in touch with Leighton (Flea) at FC Performance for a proper remap (check seperate threads under Traders Section). It's like Garlic Bread - it's the future.
