Volo Performance Chip VP12
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 4:47 pm
Hi,
I just installed a Volo VP12 OBD-II Performance Chip on my Canadian AWD, CVT model. I have kept my car on regular 87 Octane fuel (Even if they are asking to go to 91 Octane). There is a very good improvement on the response of the engine with the throttle demand on the day to day driving situations. Now using the cruise control on hilly situation doesn’t means having skyrocketing Revs. Even though you feel an improvement on the car response I haven’t got any improvement on the 0 to 100Km time. If I relate that to snowmobile, when you increase your HP, and if you don‘t increase the spring resistance of the clutch you will get no result at the end because the transmission will change the ratio. So that is probably what is happening with the CVT. Anyhow I would no longer remove this performance chip and I strongly recommend it, for all CVT owners. This simply make the car better.
I have now 13,000KM (8,000Miles) on, one winter done, an I only got a chipping paint problem at the bottom of the front grill, which has been replace on warranty, beside that everything is working like a Swiss watch.
