Default ChippedUK on eBay... The BMW boys seem to think he's great



http://www.performancebmwmag.com/for...?TOPIC_ID=2256

They all seem to think this guy is the best thing since sliced bread

I thought his chips were a pile of crap for Saxo boys

Did I miss something?!

Indeed it is.

Mr bullshit extraordinaire, rip off merchant, and liar.

He's been kicking around on the BMW forums for a while, and they love him over there.

However, since most of those BMW owners, whilst they own nice cars, wouldn't have the first idea about what the chip does, who he's ripped it off of, and why they are so blinkered as to his rediculously dubious history.

Aye I was just starting to twig that I'd heard his name before.... Not many folk called Jayson, at least not with that inbred spelling

I remember there being a bit of uproar about this fella although I was never around in his infamous RSOC BB days. Only heard stuff on here.

Bit of a shitter when it's the tossers who do well in this life

Ive heard of some vauxhall people happy with his work on N/A cars too.

Maybe its just turbos he needs to stay away from?

whats he being doing to turbo'ed cars?

I think maybe his chips are to basic for people on here as there is probably much better stuff available as most people on here know a hell of a lot about engines!

I think it's not a case of whether his stuff works or not - from what I can remember he was stealing other people's intellectual property? (allegedly - covering my arse)

Aye, quite correct. It's the same with any manufacturing or service industry. One company will bring something new out, then 6 months later the market will be flooded with alternatives.

Companies don't all coincidentally invent a similar product at the same time lol

I put one of his chips in a 535i bmw and it ran terribly ,the original is a million times better.

Steer clear and buy a superchip or equivalent.

I dont know if you lot remember, about 6 months ago, Jayson came on here
and I had a discussion with him about the chips he supplied.

I offered to look at the maps of some of his chips for cossies and discovered
they were infact copies of PTS and ATFORD chips

He never replied to my findings.

he is on E30zone and they all love him. I tried to warn my mate about this guy but my mate seems to think this is all in the past. However, he has not bought anything off him yet, altho quite a few peeps on that forum have.

Personally I would stay well clear and would never dream of buying a chip off the shelf.
