Hello lads,

Happy New Year from down here in sunny New Zealand.
I need a little help though, I've just brought a new Garret T34 with a .48 exhaust housing and when I asked about buying a new chip the group in the U.K told me that my old Ahmed Bayjoo chip that I ran with my standard T3 would be fine.
My chip reads 3BL6R24.803 ( 3 Bar, L6 ECU, R24 Ignition curve, 803 injectors)
I'm a little weary of not buying a new chip as I can't see how a T3 chip and a T34 chip would be the same (although I'm a total novice)

The is a quote I pulled from a PM I recieved a year ago from one of the top U.K guys. The below quote is why I'm so confused as the place I've brought the T34 tell me differently (I would trust the guy in the below quote more though.
Any ideas or help would be most appreciated,

Cheers,

Ollie

 

Hi Ollie,you'll need a new chip m8,i got mine from MSD with closed loop .

 

They told you the chip will be fine to encourage the sale.

It wont be.

 

Cheers fellas.
I guess that could have been a disaster
So obviously I'm not going to buy a new chip from them.
Who would you guys reccomend then?.
As there's no Cossie tuners down here in New Zealand I'd want the chip to be as close to my car specs as possible.
1988 2WD Sapphire.
83,000 Miles
Bosch 803 Injectors
3 Bar Map Sensor
-31 Actuator
Pace RS500 Spec Intercooler
Pro Alloy Turbo Cooler
Pro Alloy 50mm Radiator
T34 with .48 exhaust housing and 360 degree thrust bearing
Group A coil, Blue Beru Motorsport leads
Group A Bosch Fuel Pump

That's pretty much the spec of my car.

Cheers,

Ollie.

 

Phone stu at MSD and he'll sort you out m8.

 

Cheers Kev.

I'm in a bit of a qwandry with regards to my brakes as well.
I'm going with Ferrodo DS2500 pads all round.
But I'm not sure whether to go for Tarox drilled and gooved disks, or just 40 grooved.
Or the my other option is some German TUV approved drilled and grooved or 8 grooved
Which is a better brand etc?
What do you guys think (note I'm using my standard 15" wheels hence no AP or Hi-Spec kits
