I'm sure it's already in the chip, depends on the spec.

A re-map is a specific map made for your car.

A chip has a pre made map for a the car.

the c16xe one is a chip with a raised limit of 7200rpm. not programmable via the ODB.

personally I wouldnt bother, most engines I have taken apart that have had a superchip used with them show signs they have ran rich, and the gains if any are minimal. only worth it for the raised limit IMO but to use that you will be best to fit ARP's and SBD rollers

the unichip i think have went up to £495 fully fitted and mapped. this also includes 2 dyno runs to show you before and after.

arp rod bolts and sbd rollers arent much. i think you will be about £120-£140 for them both.

then you have to look into vernier pulleys unless you already have them
