haha , the bentley thing fooled me when they first let them out. in fact it still does at first sight. Their is one sat outside my office window right now. Owners clubs are the way forwards and im sure it will be the best place to look for advice.

Show me a car that can't beat a 2.0l golf to 60......
Not every day you see a car that quite as fast as your Yaris!
I'm not sure of the ins and outs of how they work, the cheaper ones are definitely just fooling sensors but that one may be more along the lines of bluefin. The benefit of a remap is that its a bit more customisable and is done professionally. Have a look here:

Remap to 265bhp/448lb/ft with an economy map available. Not sure what bhp/torque figures the economy map gives but its worth a call to them
it would have been better off mapping its way to the scrapyard, they are a terrible car, terrible handling , terrible lift off oversteer.
Anyway back to this guys subject.
This maybe the reason why my mates 206 failed got a cheap chip

I've made the key word bold for your reading pleasure, its hardly a benchmark to be pleased with.
ha ha ha I know, I borrow the car sometimes when I go clubbing and the amount of girls I pull just because they see me in a "Bentley" is astonishing!!
Thanks again, I will give the site a full browse when I finish work. But generally speaking would a decent increase in bhp improve the fuel consumption noticeably? They told my dad it would increase the MPG by at least 10% which is still a big difference in such a big car.
I know the pain iaind. Thanks for all the genuine advice from people.

Unfortunately its about as comfortable to drive as a tin of sardines.
I'm not sure - I can sort of see the reasoning behind it but it sounds iffy. Celtic actually offer an economy map that is designed to improve economy, whether it does that at the expense of bhp/torque or not I dont know...

Remap it, don't get a chip/tuning box. All they're doing is giving it more fuel or winding up the boost. A proper remap will change all the points on the fueling map (not sure on the word I'm after, but load sites and fuel tables are words I seem to remember?), and will still be using all the sensor readings whereas the chip would just be "OMG GIVE IT MORE FUEL".
Chrysler 3.0 CRD V6 is 218 HP & 510 NM stock, and one mapper claims (for example) to get 258 HP and 600 NM.
Also, it's a lot better to get a proper remap (check it for errors, stick it on the rollers stock, give it a generic 3.0 CRD V6 map on it, stick it on the rollers again, and then customize the map to your engine) done rather than simply a guy coming to you with his laptop and sticking on a generic 3.0 CRD V6 map.

Post a thread and tell us more, always interested by other peoples FI builds after doing a few myself.
Also a thread about a mini in a shed would do....
unfortunately your an arse and seem to be rather big headed and obviously never seen a remap down before in your life or you would know what im on about

Oh ok, yeah I understand the doubts... I guess the best bet is to call around and ask them personally as well as to find anyone whos has already chip'd their 300c and see if it actually made a difference. Thanks guys, I will get on more research after work and report my findings just for informations sake. Cheers
