What's this chip
Hoping somebody on here might be able to help , I've recently brought a 2wd Cosworth and it came with a half decent spec or so I thought , I've since been watching him sell bits on here that were meant to be fitted to my car but that's by the by .
Anyway part of the spec was a stage 3 msd chip , I have a reciept for it but it certainly doesn't feel like a stage 3 car ( or run like one ) so I opened the ecu ( L6 ) and this is the chip that's in it !! I've spoken to msd and they confirmed it's not one of their chips .
I've done no end of searches on the net but can find nothing on it what so ever , my cars spec is T34.48 , 500 cooler , greens , large k&n , L6 .
I'm going to get it remapped anyway but wondered if anybody had any idea of the chip .

From what you have said as it seems to lack power I would say he probably stuck a standard chip in it before selling it to you.
Get it up to MSD they will sort you out and get it running properly.

It's certainly not mapped properly , won't hold boost , fumey as fuck , hate to think what it would be like on emissions if I had to put it through an mot .
Harvey's just down the road from me so will probably have a chat with him and for the time being chuck an Ahmed chip in just to get it running properly for the minute while I sort out a few other issues .
I am starting to feel I've been turned over , I would like to think I've never done that to anyone else but seems to be quite a bit of it going on now with regards to some of the posts on the forum now

That's a castle performance label. Get Harvey and jim to swop it out and set it up and your away. All will be well.

I've now purchased a msd chip correct for my set up and will be sending the castle chip back to them to read and find out what it's mapped for , must say msd have been excellent with their help and offer to read the old chip to satisfy my curiosity .

So the issue could be the chip, because although the data on it may be good for someone, it may not suit the car its fitted in at all.
