chips are not worth anything mate. if you want it to be good you have to get a set up. but tbh if your gonna do that dont waste your money on a 1.4 engine. sorry to break it to you mate. most super chips etc do more harm than good

DTA Unichips will make the best of your mods if you've already got them, a chip will help a little bit but for £400 not really worth it. Does your engine have any other mods?

In that case no harm in it, if it's a mappable one.
