Just wanted
to know what the score is here, I have recently bought a my98 and found when I removed the ecu I noticed a little black box with super chip wrote on it, the box itself was not attached to the ecu but hard wired into the loom of the car, just wanted to know if this will actually worm or if it's causing more harm tham anything
else?

 

Could do with hearing the answer my self as i have 2. is yours a superchip ABC with a red and green LED in it too

 

Yeah thats the one mate, just wanted to know if they made a difference or whether they may damage the engine instead, is yours wired into the loom also?

 

Just been reading on the website and apparently superchips say these little boxes increase the bhup by up to 38 bhp and nm by 90!!! seems a little over exaggerated me thinks, just want to know whether it is worth keeping or selling on and will it actually improve performance and can it be wired back in easy enough or will it need to be fitted by a pro??

 

the box you are talking about is nothing more than a fuel cut defender, the power increase talked about came from fitting a bleed valve along with the fuel cut defender to allow a raise in boost beyond the the original ecu pre-set fuel cut.

 

So without the corresponding being done the box is useless basically? and if not is it safe to do the corresponding mods to make it saf or would you advise me just to get rid of it?

 

as you say just take it out, and sell it on ebay someone will buy it from you!
