Agree with the above, only thing is the the superchip will be wired before the ecu so to interupt and modify signals before they enter the ecu. Therefore wires would have been cut to accomodate the superchip. So you need to rejoin and insulate the wires from the loom to their original wires to the ecu. These wires should be colour coded.

You will need to remove the bleed v/v

The ECU can be found in the passenger footwell. Peel back the carpet from round the centre console and round to the left. Should reveal a metal plate, remove this and thats where the ecu is. A superchip will be a black box connected by 2 or 3 wires and will say superchip on it.

Take it off and throw it away!

Question

Is the pipework to the bleed valve coming from the boost control solenoid valve, then to the actuator or is it coming directly from the manifold?
