was looking on ebay lastnight and seen a msd stage 1 chip for my car.
was thinking of buying one and fitting it myself. is it essential i get the car setup afterwards or should it be ok. its running standard boost at the mo.
i fitted a chip into my old e30 325 and it just pushed in are these the same?

The chips are seated in a socket yes, it's not essential but a very wise idea to get the fueling etc checked over by someone after and also a uprated actuator i.e. -31, do you have standard HG?

not to sure on the headgasket need to check the history i got with it.
i would take it to my local rolling road to get checked out.
is a uprated actuator essential?

Not essential no, but it's reccomended, the standard one is most likely alright but bearing in mind the age (If original) and the extra pressure, I guess thats why your advised to!

v man

my advise is to forget all that

book your car in to nms and get the stage 1 gunship

on the road you will make stage 3 cars look silly

most aggressive stage 1 there is and its super safe

thanks mate. think i may just go stage one for now and get it checked at motorscope down the road.

if that post is aimed at my post then your mad lol

nms gunship is the bollocks mate it really is

There is a fair amount of things to be checked properly on a good setup to get the best from your chip and car best to take it to someone who knows and understands the webber system well

i know nms are the top blokes for mapping ect do u have any idea how much one of them chips cost all setup?

Hi I have a Collins stage one chip that I have a graph for 283 bhp... If it's any good to you... It's for level 1 ecu tho.

pretty sure mine will be a l6 but thanks anyway

ive heard the gunship is good but theres no chance its going to stroke a proper .63 t34 stage 3 car

v man

you reckon

the gunship uses the t3 and has a hugh boost spike low down as the standard injectors can fuel it at lower revs

the gunship is the one to go for

give nms a bell it will be well worth the travelling
