im still undecided about either really. it needs to be switchable.

i have heard good and bad things about both companies obviously. but ive had a chipped uk map on my anni and think its great

TBH, i'm alittle miffed @ Chipped UK - the origional map they supplied, a fast road map to suit carswith DPF's was great. It returned 205/330ft/lbs. It dropped off quite quickly for my liking, but i put this down to the DPF and sooting issues.
When i asked for a second map, suited to my car but WITHOUT a DPF Simon eventually sent a file through.

I flashed the file onto the ECU. Went for a spin......

..... no different, it went the same as it did when i was running the DPF map.

Me being me, i thought that maybe i'd flashed the wrong file, so i repeated the process. NOPE, still the same.

The file names were :

Fast Road map.dat
Fast Road NO DPF.dat

When i opend these two files, i found that they were both identical.
He'd just renamed the file.

I also found that they'd only adjusted 3 of the 8 boost load sites. Not overly comprehensive by anyone standards.

And to this date,  sadly, i'm still waiting for Simon to ring me back about it !

Luckly the Revo oppertunity came up, and it's transformed the car.


TBH, i'd wait for the release of the Revo non-DPF software.
Then theres the stage 2 too come too  :happy2:


If you wanna buy my ST3 unit, it's 4 months old and will siut your car, both with and without DPF. make me an offer.

Ohh, my friend has anm Anni, PD150 with a CUK map, and it's totally awesome - goes almost as well as my 205 verson (running the DPF) 8)
The early maps are good.

not too impressed so far with the later stuff  :confused:

Like Tom says Jay I would hang on and wait for Revo to complete their DPF removal software and if there is a stage 2 map coming that is definately worth the wait.  :happy2:

Any chance you can tell me how you switched on the US Side Markers? Neg switched on the US DRL's via VagCom on Saturday but all that happens there is that the lights stay on all the time. He did look for other settings but couldnt find anything other than the DRL's?!?

Have you got halogens or xenons, you'll only achieve this look via xenons unless you use the lens next to the indicator and plumb in your own wiring etc. The halogen DRL is just sidelights on all the time

See below  :smiley:

Wrong ...... it's your indicators on all the time (but still flash and is LEGAL !)

Close, they are nearly the US sidemarkers, but they are different

Markymark..... in central electric :



Any questions.....please ask

Allan @ Allard. £62 delivered.

I thought it seemed alittle steep, but tbh, the kit is comprehensive.
The pipe, all bolts, gaskets and rubber O rings needed.

With the delete pipe, it comes with the option to add a take off point for a boost gauge if thats your thing.

Good bit of kit, should be fitting it at the weekend all going well.

Errr..... I ordered my car new with the Xenons spec'd from the factory.
