hi people!!! i have just fitted a stage 1 superchip and i think its fucked. the car runs fine for about 15 mins then if i rev any higher than 3000rpm it has no power and sounds like its overboosting or misfiring. i took the chip out and it runs fine again. i got the chip from e-bay its not new. has anyone had the same problem or knows what could be causing this to happen?

 

You could have bought a knackered chip. To be honest, Ebay is not exactly the best place to go buying chips.

 

thanks for reply... i think your prob right.

 

Daft question time - is it the right chip for your ecu?

 

yer ofab ecu and ofab sticker on chip. i cant understand how it can work for bout 15mins then start flippin out?!?!?!

 

Sorry but def sounds like a dodgy chip your best of going to get one fitted and the car set up at the same time

 

In the first 15 minutes can you go above 3k rpm?

 

Yeah it drives perfect,its like a fuckin rocket!!!

 

What stage chip is it and how did you set the boost?

 

its a 165 stage 1 superchip... turned boost up on the -31... only boostin at 13psi holdin 12.

 

I'm wondering if you're getting boost creep or the gauge you used is reading low and you are hitting the overboost protection. Try winding the boost down a couple of psi and see if you get the same problem.

 

i will give it a go mate.... cheers!!!

 

if the chips fu#ked does anyone know if they can be reprogramed or fixed???

 

If the chip's had it I doubt if it can be repaired, the're usually encased in resin to stop people taking them apart.

Any joy with winding the boost down?

 

i dont realy know how to change the boost settin... a mate does all the work on my car... iwill let you know how it goes when hes done it.
