Buying a second hand chipped ecu
 

as above what all do i need to do before i venture down this route!

my car is virtually standard mfi aswell.

unless you know these cars inside out i wouldn't try this but if you are be careful where you get it from

I have got a collins powerchip chipped ecu m8 if you are interested?? and as soon as you fit it you will def need a tuner to look at it asap for a set up for fuelling adjustments and boost checking etc etc

On Rs Turbos the chip genrally only removes the boost limit enabling you to up the boost above the normal limit of about 7-8 psi. Only a few like the turbosystems chips alter timing slightly. Non of them alter fueling as obviously it is mechanical injection.

Get a chipped ECU and plug it in. It wont effect your car until a tuner sets it up and takes advantage of the extra boost you can run

i wouldn't bother personally. I bought a turbosystems chip for mine years ago, and all it did was cost me a headgasket and a bill from NMS for another chip once they'd rebuilt the engine :lol:

As said above they need setting up afterwards anyway on mfi, so i'd take it to a tuner once you find one thats close enough or one thats recommended to you, fit a K&n, a decent exhaust and a chip and with the boost and fueling set correctly you should see a nice 160 - 170 bhp and trust me they're a nice car to drive at that power level. a completly different beast from standard.
Just my two penneth, take it from a guy who's already had the big bills from not doing it right in the first place :cry:
