thats just a raised boost pressure ecu ! not actually a chipped ecu

a chipped ecu would just have the main chip replaced with another

thats the main chip under the silver plate what says xl on it

Of course it's a chipped ECU. It's just done as an add on rather than a reprogrammed processor.

as i say its a add on that takes away the boost limit !!!!!

it will give the same results as a chipped ecu but it hasnt had the main chip replaced !
