Default Polar performance chip?

Sorry if this has been covered a few times but I'm using my phone and it's a nightmare searching through the posts with it, just After a bit of advice on these, advantages and disadvantages of them on a 93 wrx RA!
Thanks, james

I was out lol

The polar performance chip is a good'un compared to alot of other generic chips.
I'd chuck one on mine if i could find one

Best save 400-500 for a ESL daughter board, fully mappable and your keeping all the good features of the standard ECU

polarperformance chips are very good, a very safe mod.
you have to make sure you get a genuine one, not a cheap copy off ebay. cheap copys may have a bad map.
major sarcasm on here has some which have the same map as the polar chips had. i have one fitted with no problems.

Yeah he can, but he doesnt have any at the mo. Ive got a PP chip and its very good. You can also wire up a switch so you can switch between maps (not that you would want to though).

You could buy your own blank and ask Major_Sarcasm if he will burn the map onto it for you.

A well worth while mod imo.
