Default Can you identify this L8 ecu chip?

Hi guy's I have a L8 ecu from a destroyed car and it is having this chip:



In case that it is not clear the chip is writting PK 352 24090B
Anyone knows the spec from this chip? The only thing that I have seen is that the car was running greys and stock turbo. Horsepower is unknown...

read the file and it should tell who did it and to what spec if a proper tuner did it.

LOL, I only know 1 tuner who does that and that isnt one of his chips !



Its cheaper to buy a new known chip than to pay someone to identify it IMO.

If you have any doubts about the chip, bin it ! Dont risk your engine on a guess.

I got this ECU for free and I was thinking that if I knew the specs of that chip (and if it is making good horsepower) I could build a spare engine that I have (to operate with this chip)for a track day car... Can I search for specs from the number of the chip or this is not possible and if it is where to search? Thanks!

Unless you know who made it originally, you are on to a loser IMO.

Chips are tuned to engine specs and its fairly difficult to reverse the process from just the mapping.

as said, dont risk your engine.

you are much better off building the spare engine you have to the spec you want; then get a chip to suit your spec exactly
