Good plan IMO, i will do the software and then Matt can get her up and running nicely with 29psi spike and 23 held.

Talking

I have Stu's Closed Loop Stage 3 Chip on my Escos.. Its the business !!

Mine peaks at 27psi holds 24psi..... I reckon without the ported head i would still see 340+ BHP.

I fitted and setup up mine myself, set the boost, a couple of runs
up and down the ring road, job done !

Took it for a rr run, perfect...!

Ł140 for the chip pal. Cant help with other items at the moment though sadly. Simon @ Woodford probably can though.

The supplied chip and it's replacement had a collosal hole about 1800-2500rpm, which was so bad you physically could not drive through it in 4th or 5th gear.
I contacted MSD, and they gave a refund, including postage without complaint or delay, once it had been seen to be the chip/s.
Everything was set up as per instructions to the letter, merely swapping with another chip eliminated 100% the problem.
I would point out I had faultless service from MSD, and lots of advice help to try to get this problem sorted, but unfortunately to no avail.
For service alone I still use MSD for parts when needed, but have now decided to go aftermarket ecu, as Emerald rolling road is 500 metres away, so makes a lot of sense for me.
