    Upsolute chip or VT

    Its been on my mind for a while now. Am deciding to have a remap carrired out on my 2000 C70 T5 auto. Its standard and I wont be doing any heavy modifications. I'll probably might drop a panel filter in once remapped. Theres nearly a £300 difference in what each tuner offers. If i choose upsolute and save money, is the 30bhp loss (280bhp as to 310 bhp) really going to make a huge difference. Any comments appreciated.

    Cant realy give you a definitive answer, but as it appears your fairly local; you're welcome to get a feel of the RICA job on mine…
