Hello Shaggy. I love the 206Gtis they are great track day cars and my frind had one which he let me borrow for a weekend and it was the most fun car i have ever driven. Dun think a chip will do much for a non turbo car but youll have to see what the other guys on here say.

hey and welcome shaggy. it might be an idea to see if danny180 can get in touch with you as he has a supercharged 180 gti. like wyze says you not get much benefit from a remap ( the easier way of chipping without causing damage to the ECU ) maybe 5-8 bhp. would also recommend changing the fuel pressure regulator

Hi Shaggy and welcome to TorqueCars. Forced induction is really the best way of getting silly power figures for your car. You need to choose between a turbo or supercharger. The kits i've seen seem to work pretty well on Pug engines.
