The Mercedes VITO is designed to lug loads quickly, reliably and economically and with 163 PS on tap it’s pretty good at fulfulling this role. However, why not enjoy a faster, easier, more frugal drive that costs justs a fraction of the VITO’s purchase price thanks to Superchips?

That’s because the new Superchips high performance ECU remap (or ‘chip’) for the Euro 5 versions of the 163 PS Mercedes VITO 116 CDi adds a healthy 21 bhp at just 3204 rpm, which will make the VITO move more easily, whether laden or not. In addition, the new Superchips ECU remap increases the VITO’s torque by 65Nm (48 lb.ft) increasing the driveability of the Mercedes, making it more relaxing to drive.

And thanks to the Superchips ECU remap the VITO won’t suffer at the fuel pumps though. The extra effeciencies realised by the special Superchips code deliver measurable economy improvements on turbo diesel engines and the VITO 116 CDi is no exception.

The Superchips high performance ECU remap is available now for 2009 onwards variants of the 163 PS Mercedes VITO 116 CDi, priced at £455.00 including installation and VAT. For more information please click on:- http://www.superchips.co.uk/search?make=22&fueltype=2&model=94&variant=2456

Every now and then Superchips unveils a new product that produces a staggering power increase and we’re delighted to kick off 2012 with a stunning high performance ECU remap for owners of VAG cars using the 1.8 TFSI 120PS engine.

Most commonly found in the UK in the popular Audi A4, the new Superchips ECU remap for the 1.8 TFSI 120 PS models produces a stunning 84 bhp increase at 5468 rpm, allied to an increase of 103Nm at just 4710 rpm, transforming the car’s performance from lukewarm to white hot!

The reason for this massive increase? VAG also offers a 160PS version of the 1.8 TFSI engine and the 120PS variant is simply a detuned version of the same powerplant. The Superchips’ ECU remap removes this in built restriction, allowing the lower powered Audi A4 engine to reach its full potential and adds additional performance via Superchips’ optimisation of fuel, ignition and boost pressures while ensuring perfect reliability.

Owners of 120 PS 1.8 TFSI powered VAG cars, including the Audi A4 (from March 2009 onwards,) can benefit from this performance transformation from just £455.00 inclusive of VAT and installation – making it outstanding value for money.

Superchips Ltd., the leading automotive electronic performance specialist, is pleased to announce that it will be supplying the control remapped ECU’s for the new Gaz Shocks BMW Compact Cup.

The series, which is run under the organisational umbrella of the 750MC, is designed to provide close racing with the rear wheel drive E36 BMW Compacts on a build budget of £4,000, thanks to tightly controlled regulations. The base E36 318 Ti Compact was built between 1994 and 2001, using the M44 1.9 16-valve engine.

The Superchips remap has ignition curves modified to increase performance along with fuelling maps, torque limits and the rev limit increased to 7200rpm. The ECU remains road legal for those who want to arrive and drive in their Compact Cup racer, to provide the most flexibility for your car. Diagnostic features of the ECU are still accessible with the correct equipment. These changes optimise the performance across the Compact Cup grid within the series’ strictly controlled limits.

Twelve rounds of the BMW Compact Cup are scheduled for the 2012 season and thus far 20 cars are in build, highlighting the appeal of the series.

“We are honoured to be appointed to this role with the Gaz Shocks Compact Cup,” said Superchips Managing Director, Ian Sandford . “Superchips has a long association with improving the performance of BMW cars so we are delighted to be closely involved. Motorsport presents the ultimate challenge for Superchips, as it requires extremely accurate tailoring of the engine mapping software within fine tolerances.

“It’s a natural extension of Superchips’ ongoing research and development activities, through which we constantly introduce new applications for road-going BMW’s, across petrol, turbo petrol and turbo diesel derivatives.”
