eBay Performance Chip Q & A

[apoc585]

didnt think either manual gearbox would have a different tune

it didnt make a difference in performance (maybe that was a bad thing?) but the engine light stayed on.
Next tune for me is gonna be through Greenfoam

anybody tried using 'marobi' before?
its not a resistor, (i was dumb enough to buy one of those, but realised it was **** after doing some research, so it never went on the commie) its a proper chip that is attached to the ecu via a 28 pin socket that has to be fitted.
any idea what this will be like if i fit it?

I have heard bad things about Marobi chips. That's just me though. Your car will probably just run rich and you won't get a heap of gain out of it. Refer to my reply to Lumina below

so where can I get a true performance chip >> anyone can link me

PM forum member "Greenfoam" or preferably purchase a chip off him via Egay. His Egay username is "Nicefrog".

The majority of chip tuned cars on this forum are done by Foamy or Dr.Bob. Both do great work. I had my VS Senator tuned by Foamy. Couldn't be happier. Power increase / tighter throttle and i also have way better fuel economy. Average of 15.9 litres / 100 kms city driving isn't bad for a V8 with a panel filter, 3" exhaust and a tune!!!

idunno, sometimes if somethings to good to be true it really isnt

i gather this falls in the same category as the resistor chip?
or is this something else entirely?

pretty much anything that fools the ecu by changing sensor outputs are bad.
