Re: Chip upgrade for 316I
Important tings for u to consider:
1) Does the unit for sale comes with the harness?
2) What is the freight charges?
3) If price is really SGD$369, expect to pick up the package at customs (Singpost) because you have to pay for GST before they release the product to you.
Cheers
I believe the price there stated there is either in USD or EURO because the parent company is selling the same unit at $300+ EURO.Sngolf;1060367 said:

Choice is yours and yours to go check them out, here or internet.
Lastly, IMHO, just dont get those throttle respose thingy as it adjust only the throttle signal with no Hp/Nm gains... just step harder
You could try the other Modules (some from site sponsors) which was discussed and talked about in this forum such as (in alpha order):Sngolf;1060367 said:

Re: Chip upgrade for 316I

Re: Chip upgrade for 316I
Many thanks to all bros and Sis for the precious insights and advise to the topic. To get 20plus bhp increment from the stock 136bhp can be pretty significant. Having been used to American Muscle Cars and my RX8, I did have quite a scare driving in Eco-pro mode when I floored the pedal and the car dragged slowly to catch up with rear coming traffic. For USD$370 to get another 15% increase in power is truly worth considering also hopefully, won't be a too much of a Road Hog to Davidtc.

Hmmm, supposedly the best way the 316 can get power gains is thru cams change...

When Mini is using this block, it is twin scroll twin turbo.
When BMW using this block, it is single scroll single turbo for 316 and twin scroll single turbo for 320ED.
The fastest route to pwr gain is change the turbo to twin scroll single turbo. But i don't know whether need to change ECU or not.
What's the pt of going all mod for pwr gain?Seraphblade;1061648 said:
