About the cheapest is a superchip. About £300 tho, for not much gain.
But you have to specifically ask for the limiter to be raised.
My x16xe has a superchipped ecu, but the limiter is the standard 6750rpm.
You could put that £300 towards a full remap.
ARP's are £50ish.

I agree with Steve. If you're going to get the standard ECU chipped, you might as well get a decent company to remap it for you, instead of getting a generic plug and play map.

It would, but it wouldn't do anything else.
With a proper remap, the fuelling is adjusted too, so the car runs better through the revs.

would i get any benifit from sticking a cheap chip in to raise the limit of my car because it still pulls at the limiter??

IMO, it's not worth buying cheap chip. Save the money you'd use for that, save some more, get a decent one. Job done.
