did you fit it yourself or buy it like that? Have you opened it up to see if the j1 resistor has been cut?

Did you get the ECU/chip direct from Polar or is it 2nd hand???

0.9 would be your standard boost for a guess!

If the BCS is ticking it's a good thing. If you connect the test wires under the dash it should click continually.

As said above, ensure the J1 link is cut, mine has a jumper fitted instead of the resistor as i got it direct from PP.
