TU_Later 0 Posted May 10, 2010 Does anybody know the ins and outs of these types of chips.. I know they quote all these figures, and 177NM sounds pretty incredible from a completely standard 1.9 GTi engine. I've now got a spare ECU thanks to a decent local forum member! So that means if all goes tits up I can still stick the original ECU in.. I just dont want my engine damaged from a chip! Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted May 11, 2010 What I do is unplug the CTS plug and connect it to a CTS that I've had welded to the outside of the car. Reckon I gained a few bhp though the economy aint what it used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
