You are better getting a re-map done.
Those chips tend to just overfuel.
Anyone with auto logic should be able to get one for you. Make sure they are local or close to your dealer so they can put it back on if the dealer overwrites it.

Hi I had a BAS (Bell Auto Services, UK ) remap on the D3, you can take it off or on yourself in about 5 mins Check out UK site, DISCO3.CO.UK
Made a heap of difference, but does blow abit of smoke when up it

Hi
Ok what is better to flash or to have a inline after market thing called a tunit V-CR ? I have been told the sales hypo for both , so what do you guy,s and lady,s think? OR is it best to just not touch . But better fuel economy is allways good so is a 25% power up.

Intercept boxes will never perform like a proper remap.

As he said - there are no existing tune-up boxes that can match a good remap. Not all remaps are equal though ............

Which one to get depends on where you are.

OK then how would you know other than by word of mouth if it is a resonable remap or a excellent remap. Im in Adelaide and was concidering going to TRS in Lonsdale, They gave me a good rap, maybe I need to ask to take a similar car for a test drive. They also said that they have to buy Vin numbers from LR to do the remap. What is this all about or is it LRs way of knowing what has been done to what car for there own referance?

Cheers guys
