Yep Octane is spot on, its a chain as i have a 1.2 16v, PLEASE AVOID THESE CHIPS ON eBay. All they do if mees up your engine and are not worth the money or the hassle

Anyone ever tried one of those 'fuel savers'
Where a block is strapped to your fuel line. and apparently makes it more economic ?
i cant see them ever working

cost me £275 for my ibiza remapping, anything below that ammount of money is likely to be a crock
and even then on a N/A car you sadly wont see more than maybe 4 or 5xtra horse power
those fuel saver things are ment to magnetise your fuel so it flows better? aparntly i dunno how they are ment to work! but i cant see it working at all!
