This week on Awesome Cars RaceChip has been somewhat of a controversial topic amongst tuners for a while and customers. Some claiming that the product is unsafe and does not work. So today we put two flagship cars to the test on our DYNO to find out if RaceChip not only works but is it safe?

Great video, just didn’t need the background music so it was clearer. Thank you for taking the time to demo this

Really good video. I want extra power but don’t want to be pushing max for stage 1. I’d be happy on mid setting to just get the extra kick. This has helped to make up my mind for a Racechip

You can’t ask for a more thorough presentation of a Race Chip then what’s presented here! I’m thrilled and relieved that I’m about to purchase one for my BMW 2018 X5. I’ve installed the M exhaust performance package, 21’s staggered! Looking forward to getting that extra HP! Thanks again!!

Good information, thank you. Looking at purchasing and installing a Race Chip on my 2021 Hyundai Veloster Turbo in the coming weeks. Thanks again.

Brilliant insight into the data here. Very informative regarding what is actually changing within the ECU. Thanks!

Would be nice if you guys can make the same review on the TDI tuning box out of UK , I heard good things about it.

Cool video. So it looks like the fuelling is ok, but what about engine temps. Any need for bigger intercoolers at this stage?
@awesomecars1
@awesomecars1 3 года назад
Not at this stage no, we recommend intercoolers at stage 2 although an intake can certainly help with performance on stage 1

Just installed a race chip on my octavia vrs tfsi, the race chip only connects to boost sensor, I can hear the turbo working harder on the different modes, this does not translate into any extra power or performance in my case, I’ll be sending it back and getting a remap

I'm curious because I see a lot of videos where a racechip is installed on a car and immediately tested to compare before and after results. But my understanding is that (in the case of Racechip) you are supposed to start off with a setting of 3 or so (out of 7), then give it a few days and then try higher settings progressively. Is that not necessary?
@awesomecars1

Nope, the racechip is designed to work as plug and play

That's wierd, when others say they got way little gain from that chip...

My Racechip start acting up after weeks, Sometimes when I accelerate, It makes weird sound, car shake and losing power. But when I uninstall it, everything goes back to normal. Does anyone experience this? Any fix or scam?

check user manual i think it says it all about it and dialing maps on chip...ik a bit late answer i hope you figured it out

Some people say its fine, but I have tried Race Chips on 2 cars (RS3 and Cupra) and both cars went into limp mode after driving for 20 minutes. Fitting is also difficult on some vehicles, and instructions are virtually non-existent. Power increases are nowhere near what they claim. Even when they do work, Race Chips will never be as beneficial as a professional remap tuned with a rolling-road. You can get a professional remap for less than the price of a Race Chip now anyway. Don't know why anyone would bother with Race Chip!

I agree. A terrible way to tune a car, certainly a petrol turbo. Telling the ecu the boost pressure is lower than it actually is (and the manifold pressure) the ecu raises the boost due to false reading, fuels as much as it can until it starts to run lean then goes into limp mode. Basically a dangerous way to tune an engine raising boost pressure and nothing else but relying on factory ecu parameters to cut everything back to safe limits as part of the tuning. Horrible.

I have two observations to make; 1/ you don’t compare adding a Racechip to a remap as the title suggests. You casually mention a remap, at the end, as being ‘the ultimate’ but give no details or reasons. 2/ The technician does a spectacular job of dancing around saying what the Racechip actually does. He doesn’t even say which sensors it plugs into other than the lambda probe. If that’s all it is reading then it’s just telling the ECU that the car is running lean and so needs more fuel. You don’t actually explain anything! How exactly is the ECU fooled into producing the claimed +40bhp? It can’t add more air so it’s more boost and/or more fuel. If it’s doing something more sophisticated than that then you need to explain what.

just check racechip it shows to which sensor it connects how to plug it in and dial it

Yes we sell racechip, but every brand we sell is tried and tested thoroughly on our own development cars to make sure there aren't any issues :)
