Hi all,

Just fitted my chipped ECU.

I have noticed that the ignition timing is now off. With the engine ticking over the timing is at about 4 degress BTDC. I know the timing on tickover should be 12 degress before top dead centre as standard.

Does anyone know anything about ECU chips and how they work.
As far as I know the chip retards the ignition when you are boosting up more than standard to stop the engine detonating (pinking) aswell as throwing more fuel in.

Is this right.

I have taken the car out for a run and it goes like stink up to 15psi with the standard intercooler but uprated stage 2 Turbo but seems to be a little bit doggy bottom end before the boost comes in.

Hope someone can help

Cheers
Dave
