Superchip is a no no apparently. I was looking into this but a few Scoobynetters told me about problems they have had before and thats why most of them (if not all) wont go for a Superchip

hi money, a unichip is not like a super chip.
with a unichip it is possible to map the timing advance and fuelling but a superchip is just a boost clamp( not good )

hi dug

did you get your car rolling roaded before and after the chip was fitted and if so what power has it produced?????????

£500 sounds good value for money and i know power station are a top quality outfit.

i have quite a lot of other mods on my car and was wondering if your car was modded before you got the unichip done?

thanks for all your help, i was starting to think it was not possible

cheers

jonny

Have you had a look at the Apexi ECU yet mate? There was one flying about a few weeks back. Its has slightly more features than a Unichip but you need someone who has an eye for mapping.

Same goes with the David's famous mapped chip. You can change the mapping yourself with Excel and an Eprom burner but again, you need someone who can map. I'd do it for you but I'm crap at it hence why I haven't bought the chip.......yet.

Give me till May before I start playing with it as my knowledge is still limited to carbs. Uni is slow ain't it.

Hehe I think I might have "studied" about fuel injection stuff but "weren't available" in class.

Give me a few months as I say as it will be nearer to the exam times when I mysteriously become an expert at all my subjects.
