Default whos knows there stuff when it comes to chips??

i have this chip and its ofab frst
i am currently using ofac with a 15psi superchip fitted


what i would like to do is move on to my other ofab management and use the pictured chip but im told its no good if its got no tape over the magic eye

is that true and where can i get it remapped??

if this sounds pointless then pls say but i figure im at 15psi now and would like to run more when i transplant the runnin gear out of my rst and into my mk1 xr2

Re. the tape over the window

If it's left in direct sunlight it can wipe the chip IIRC

As long as its been kept out of direct sunlight it should be fine I think

The OFAB & C are non interchangeable and will reguire new programming. The problem is the programming code is going to be unknown as that is NOT a Superchip for starters...

The window is there so we can bathe it ultraviolet light to erase its contents, so just pop any old sticker over it for protection.
