    Chips with everything????

    Hi all,

    Anyone with a phase 3 V70 opted for a tuning chip? I keep seeing them advertised, but could do with some first hand advice

    Welcome to the forum. I've not had any experience with Phase 3 cars but the shape is gradually growing on me and I like the idea of the T6
    Will be watching with interest.
    A remap is never a bad idea if that's any help as advice lol.

    A good reliable chip normally is more expensive than remap cos u can move it from car to car but the cheap one not to b trusted so remap is yr best option.

    If by phase 3 you means 2007 onwards, then you won't find any "chips" for these cars.

    The only options available are either tuning boxes, or OBD2 remaps (although bench flashing the ECU is also possible on the earlier Euro 4 cars).
