any left?
Hi, i've got a 1995 wrx estate, 3" catback exhaust, pipercross cone filter and looking to fit a front mounted intercooler. Have you any chips left for this?
Thanks
Thanks

Does that mean that if i get hold of some yellow 440 injectors and a td05 then he could allow for them in the map too? or would the ecu compensate and adjust on its own?

Fitted my Chip today.
Wow love it. car is much more alive.
3rd gear has a nice strong pull.
driving about it feels smooth and pulls through the gears much better.
I had a few problems fitting but Steve sorted things out.
Well happy.
Cheers!

I can supply a chip that will suit your current mods no probs and your ECU will be updated to Z4 at the same time, two birds with one stone, etc.
If you fit bigger injectors, I can't help you with a chip. I'm sure there are other issues with fitting STI injectors and an STI ECU. Probably need the MAF that was fitted to the STI too. My chips run more boost than a standard STI anyway (and safer as it's mapped for UK SUL fuel). Have a read of my FAQ

Boost controller is ok, but to be honest, the chip is better at controlling boost via the stock solenoid for these kinds of mods. It maps the boost levels throughout the rev range to suit fuelling and timing. An aftermarket boost controller won't do that.

Ran out of chips again a couple of weeks ago! I've managed to get some more now, although not many.
The people who've been waiting for me to get some more in, you can contact me again if you wish as I can now take payment.
All PMs replied to, couple more chips sent out yesterday!

Had mine out for the first time over the weekend on track, and had a few problems with over boost issues... ive pin pointed it down to my standard boost controller, as i put a manual one in for the time being and it never over boosted, so will see if a new one will fix it.

Aye tried all that, put the car in test mode, break cleaner in all the ports/tubes a few times and still the same... could even be the map sensor maybe?
I've just been offered a Gizzmo at a good price, so might just get that and set it to 1.15bar

Don't forget that the ignition needs to be off when switching maps.
If you take the coil packs out, you'll probably find that the bakelite bit at end that slots over the plugs is cracked. You might be able to get a bit more life out of them by wrapping the end with insulation tape but this is a very temporary measure.

Are there many more of these left?
i have a 1995 wrx import running a cone filter and decat system thats only really get used properly on track.
Is it worth fitting to my car as obviously when on track im 90% in the high revs so really wouldnt want any boost issues.
I dont have a boost controller or gauge and im not sure what ecu is in there but will it fir straight in or are there soldering things to be done.
Sorry for all the questions but if this can save me 600+ on a simtek then all is good.

You should really have boost guage on the car if its a track car, along with oil pressure and oil temp...
Yes this needs soldering into the ecu (only if there is no socket on there for the chip)

Right, finally got my scoob going sweet, after the extra boost soon found out my cracked coil packs. After checking and replacing them as needed i can confirm some very pleasing results:
1. Do not hesitate in purchasing if you are concerned with vendor. I had numerous problems along the route , all being my circumstances and not the product. Major Sarcasm did everything he could to help me and provided me with more after market care than alot of major retailers
2. My car drives much more smoothly and when not toe-ing it, returns a better mpg. Gloucester to Reading @ 80 on £40 , and still had good quarter tank left, so not much more than £25
3. What you`re waiting to hear, the performance has increased, very nicely. Going from my TD04 to TD05, then TD05 plus chip was night and day. Pulls really nicely throughout. Most cost effective part i have purchased so far, with satisfaction per pound in mind.
I`ll be popping it on the rollers again soon and put the graph, with the one done 2 months ago (94 WRX Wagon standard) on this thread so comparisons can be made.
Thanks again Major S.
