An Update from the staff at Superchips and Ian Sandford, our MD

Following on from our update last Thursday, regarding our operations during this difficult period, the UK Government guidance has altered and like everyone else, we must act accordingly.

Superchips Office will be closed temporarily from Wednesday 25th. We will be providing support from home until the end of March when we will contact you again with another update as the situation is changing daily. You can contact us by telephone, via the website or by email as normal, though the website or email are preferred at the moment. Please bear with us as operations may not be as seamless as usual under the circumstances.

We intend to open again as soon as it is safe to do so and will keep you informed when we are able to.

Keep well from everyone here at Superchips!

Global ECU Remap leader Superchips has introduced a conversion for the latest addition to the ST lineup, the Mk4 Focus ST Ecoboost.

Utilising the tried and tested 2.3 litre Ecoboost engine and the latest generation of Bosch engine management, the Mk4 Focus ST produces a quoted 280PS and 420Nm. We have developed Stage 1 for use with 95RON fuel and for those wanting to use 97+RON we have developed Stage 1 Plus which generates more boost to take advantage of the standard vehicles full potential – no other aftermarket parts are needed!

Stage 1 produces impressive gains of 36bhp at 2359rpm and torque of 105Nm at 2177rpm.
Stage 1 Plus produces larger gains of 44bhp at 2359rpm and torque of 126Nm at 2268rpm.

The result with either configuration is a big hike in both the torque and power curves as well as massive improvements in driveability and low to mid-range pulling power. This will make the car easier as well as more fun to drive, with more relaxed cruising and greater performance for overtaking.

The conversion can be applied either by one of Superchips’ nationwide dealer network or by the owner themselves, using Superchips’ market-leading Bluefin device. The cost of the conversion carried out by a dealer is £399 including labour and VAT.

The remap can also be performed by the owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device.

With a Bluefin, users don’t need any mechanical or technical skills, it’s quickly and easily installed from the comfort of the driving seat. Simply plug the Bluefin handset into the diagnostic port (connecting to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit) and the Bluefin then uploads new settings to enhance the vehicle’s performance. The cost of the Bluefin remap is £499 including VAT.

The Stage 1 Plus upgrade is available at no extra cost, with the advisory that Superchips recommends the use of 97+RON fuel.

The conversion is covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.

Tech Update: Latest Bosch ECUs now supported by Superchips

The latest addition to the range of ECU remaps from global leader Superchips, has been developed to give owners of two versions of the latest Bosch Engine Management systems a significant increase in performance from engine tuning and remapping.

The 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the Mk6 Polo GTi leaves the VW factory with a manufacturer quoted 200PS. The car uses the latest Bosch MG1 turbo petrol engine management system. Through careful development and testing, the Superchips remap increases this by an impressive 49bhp at 3829rpm and a remarkable 112Nm torque at 2846rpm.

These gains offer drivers the best of both worlds; improved day to day driveability thanks to the increase in torque at low engine revs, combined with gains in power at higher engine speeds, delivering greater acceleration for more rewarding driving and safer overtaking.

The full power and torque curves can be seen on the website listing for this car http://bit.ly/SC-Polo6GTI

A remap is now also available for the latest Bosch MD1 turbo diesel engine management system, fitted in the Audi A6 and A7 with 3.0 TDI 218PS engines. The Superchips remap removes artificial restrictions imposed on this low output version of the engine, to increase output by a useful 64bhp at 3874rpm and a remarkable 122Nm torque at 2982rpm.

Specific information about this conversion can be found on the Superchips website here http://bit.ly/SC-A6218PSMD1

Both conversions are carried out by one of Superchips worldwide dealer network and typically takes less than 90 minutes, as the process interfaces directly with the car’s ECU. Customers can either wait at the dealer or drop off their car and return later to collect.

The RRP of the conversion is £399 (including VAT) for both vehicles. Both remaps are covered by Superchips’ industry-leading 12-month/30,000-mile warranty*.
