Hi,
This week a Superchip for the Cosworth motor was sold on ebay for £122, did anyone on this forum buy it?
Was it worth the expense?

Craig as far as I know nobody does chips for the BOB engine.
Infact I don't think it can be chipped?
You can chip the old BOA 24V makes it smoother & a bit stronger in the mid range.

Possibly, but this is the standard packaging for the Superchips product.

If it is the real thing then i wouldn't mind seeing what difference makes if the buyer is on here. More power is always welcome

That's why I didn't bid and one of the reasons why I checked to see if anyone on here bought it

Strange that the winning bidder has only ever bought from sellers in America for a variety of different cars and yet he bids on a chip from a seller in UK for a car which wasn't sold in US!!
Something fishy of a very fishy nature me thinks!

superchip can chip the BOB EEC .. but it's really not worth the suspect 10bhp ..and more likely 5bhp gain .... regards ...STN < usually around £200 squid >

I got a quote from turbo pacs to do mine and it came to £300.00 
The guy said I could get upto a 15bhp increase.
So I asked what I was actualy likely to get
His response was "the literature says it will be upto 15bhp mate"
My response was "see ya"
I reckon the 300 quid was better saved in a shoe box along with a bit more and wait for some proper goodies

Well I was not aware of a chip for the BOB, sorry Craig.
Never heard of one, I thought they used that bluefin thing to reflash it?
As you can probably tell I don't use the STD management.
