"Chipping"
When people say they have had their car "chipped", what exactly is done?

chipping is usually just inserting a chip into the ecu to alter the fueling.

in reality you should have the ecu set up to work with all of the modifications on the engine side of things.
not just using a generic one for an exhaust and filtered engine for example

imo there isnt a point in wanging a chip on for an air filter.
Money is better spent elsewhere in the grand sceme of things, and long term remapping an ecu with a set of cams for example lead to far greater gains.
Im getting my map an my bodied car in a week or so as its overfueling a touch

usually people who brag about a chipped ecu are people to laugh at when it comes to saxos

There are ways in which a chip is used in a remap but like i say most people dont brag about the chip
