wanted to see if any one has a 318iS chipped, and wants to know if it makes a difference...
Does anyone reccomend any brands for the 318iS ?
I heard of Conforti, Motronix, Dinan ??
Last question for all of u out there....
What kind of intake would make a difference?
does it really matter wether its a Dinan, or Cosmos, or AA etc... ???
please let me know, i want to order a chip and intake within the next day or so!
thanks in advance for everyones input!

Conforti chip has the most gains. Im not sure which intake has the most gains though. However, whitout other mods you wont notice much form a chip. they wrok best in conjections with intake and exhaust mods.

ME-TAZ, the ECU number differnce deals with slight variations in the engine, but in your case the single cam makes the biggest difference. NA only got 16V 1.8s. I would look into companies over there to ensure a propper chip.

Mark, Ive been considering a CAI and chip myself, do you have a dyno sheet with the gains from his chip? The price looks great and if it is a conforti clone powr wise, then I'll probably get one in the next week or so.
