Default MSD chip question

Looking to change from dark greens to siemens blacks and was wondering can my existing MSD chip be re-written or do i need a brand new one ?

Stu might be able to re-configure your existing chip, but its best to ring MSD and ask - 01253 508400

Need a new chip Kev....I sold my greens chip with the closed loop as it worked out cheaper to get a new chip/closed loop off Stu.

same here i got a new one ,

you do have a choice though ,you could sell the one you have, if its a common spec, or you could bin it, and keep the decoder key and use it on your new chip and save Ł100........ but you cant sell your old chip that way

good choice on the new spec btw

I got Stu to turn the boost down on the blacks & it feels alot quicker than it's ever did mate. I had the greens peaking at 30 & holding arounf 26/27psi...im not peaking 25psi and it's a lot nicer now.
