If Evolve were so inclined, I'd suggest they could quite happily pull out king dong and give Superchips a good soaking.

Or in laymans terms, Evolve would piss all over Superchips.

Being more objective the, depending on your car, your likely to pay about the same, but Evolve will actually give a shit, get you more power, provide a generally better experience including a goodwill warranty type thing and you'll be supporting a process which is innovating/evolving remaps as a whole, rather than peddling wares, like an old gypsy. With warts.

Yeah DMS I have no problem with... I put Celtic in the same category as Angel Tuning etc - would you Carl? On the 335? Not for me.... I let them do my Punto once but not on more expensive metal.

You could always weld a resister onto your ECU - Ebay sellers guarantee 20bhp.

I won't go anywhere else, although there is nothing wrong with almost all others, I have a relationship with them which is worth more than brass buttons!

I have an evolve map on a 320D 177bhp, its now 215BHP and has been faultless since it was installed at 1200 miles.

You are welcome to drive in my car to form an opinion before you buy.

No one can remap these cars, they need to be chipped. ECU needs to be removed and resistors need to be soldered onto the board, NO diagnostic port solution.

Superchips cant remap these and evolve switch wont work. New tuning protection system from Bosch/BMW fitted to BMW diesels with build date April 2009 onwards.

How are you gonna do it since you live where i do, so far away.. and if something goes wrong... who will be able to get your car back, unless you are planning to ship your car to Uk for the mod to be done... A good idea is get in your car get both in a ship and go to UK so you can watch the match of APOEL against Chelsea...


I do suggest find a local tuner to do your job man...
