Chipping? I presume you mean fitting some form of "superchip" ? If so, fitting one one its own would be of little benefit. Coupled with something such as a new inlet manifold a unichip is certainly worth while

Superchips aren't all they are cracked up to be. They only really raise the rev limit. Best off getting a mappable chip. Dastek do the Unichip and you'll get noticable gains from that.

The XE's base map is pretty good anyway, so only a mapable chip will really make any difference, however small.

Unichip is usually used when you've added cams and done a few throttle mods.

A unichip on it's own wouldn't really give many gains at all as Simon said. But with something such as a mantzel box and a unichip should see around 20bhp.

Depends what else you do really. Unichip on its own will not give you much more than about 5-8bhp on a standard engine. But as Luke says, it will compliment the fueling when added with cams, TB mod and such like.

redtop does not reposnd to the unichip. if it has a power cap there are more gains to be made
