RaceChip ChiptuningReviews of racechip.us

Install was easy. Started with default setting 5, which triggered the engine check light after 10-20 miles. Reset and work my way up to dial setting to position “3”. No engine check light. Can. Pearly feel the difference. Would be great to get the full promised power without engine check light.

Mini Cooper 2016 Base Got the chip as a way to have some cheap upgrades without doing too much work to the car and can’t complain the power band is much bigger and the car is noticeably peppier and faster. It’s more fun to drive and i’d recommend getting the chip only reason not 5 star is the directions we’re for an older model of my car which uses a totally different engine so had to have my mechanic brother install for me.

Does what it says on the box.

Out of the box, this chip works. It is default to setting 5 and after installation I took it out for a test drive and could immediately tell the difference in power and the spooling of the turbo. Setting 7(highest) I couldn't notice much of a difference maybe if I take it to a track or put it on a dyno but in regular driving it wasn't noticeable. I tried the lowest setting #1(highway driving) to see if I could save on fuel but that didn't do anything, I get higher MPGs by turning it off. So for them to state that you'll get 20% better fuel consumption straight across is misleading. Now daily driving in the #5 setting with the extra power did result in similar MPGs as stock. This is based on multiple drives from northern California to Southern California and my daily commute is from sea level across a mountain(1800ft.) and back down twice a day. I've been using the chip for over 4 months now and I feel pretty confident I've given it enough hours to post a fair review. '16 Lexus IS200T F Sport 40k + miles

I can honestly say that I got both an increase in power AND improved mileage so far! The installation was pretty simple but, finding a spot to mount the unit (away from heat) is tough in a small car. There is still periodic disconnection with my phone app but, all in all my experience has been positive! I'd do it again!

Great results! My car definitely definitely is faster and received an HP boost as measured through time trials. I bought the GTS black racechip and mobile app for my US model 2016 BMW 228i. The instructions were easy to follow (I used a Youtube video) and the app linked easily and seamlessly to my racechip. The customer service was helpful although I am very disappointed the engine warranty only runs for cars with up to 48k miles but that is stated on the website.

Expensive but gives you the performance improvements in torque.

Overall good experience. Product was shipped quickly and arrived quickly as well. Unfortunately for me the car I bought it for was a little more involved for the installation than I was willing to tackle on a new 150k dollar car. Communication for installation instructions was slow but being in the US and they in Germany there is a good excuse. Installation instructions came in email as well before the product arrived but was not vehicle specific. Same with what was in the box. Would buy again for different car. Still waiting on refund so this may change my review if I don’t have a good experience there.
