Default Superchip damaged?

Hi all,

Just got myself an Orion rst with an fiesta rst engine on ofac management. it was chipped and running 170bhp but it got damaged apparently when the mot centre kicked the ecu, which is behind the centre console. the previous owner was told to remove the chip as it was causing overfuelling etc but i have it in the glovebox.

Basically i am wondering if anyone can recommend someone that can check it out for me and tell me if its no good, hopefully via post if possible. Anyone know of someone?

cheers

no visible damage to the chip that i can see which is what makes me think it might be saveable.

well engine advantages took it off as it was causing the problem, but they may have just been looking for the easy solution. Maybe ill try sending it back to superchips to see if they can do anything with it
