TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?...This would truly be the best bang for your buck I think if you want 50+ HP....if it really works well...and doesn't kill the power-train....I would go for it...but I can't see that these people have a contact number.

They have a complete money back guarantee...if your not 100% satisfied..you don't have too much to loose...unless they are a complete sham

That would be the first chip in history,that gives 50 hp without moidifying anything else.

There is a company in the UK www.hlmtuning.co.uk/offers.html
doing what is basically the RICA 304 at a really good price. The owner bought the software maps from RICA and is doing them at £150 if you send your ECU. £250 if you want to keep your ECU in the car until the RICA'd one arrives and send your old ECU back to HLM. Pre ME7 cars only though.
It's a very good aggressive map and well worth the money. Had one on my V70T5- excellent. Just ordered one for my T5-R as a fill in (lol) until I go for the IPD Stage 3.

I have a RICA 304 based chip in my 97 850 T-5 even with white injectors, uprated fuel pump, uprated fuel regulator and pipercross filter it does not make anywhere near the figures quoted of 304bhp more like 270-285. Rica agents are saying the figures quoted are not correct they're theoretical.

Car is still very quick far quicker than it was
