Title: Tuning 'Chip'???
Post by omegaman on 09. Jan 2007 at 19:21

Been looking at these for a while on eBay........

Has anyone tried them, and if so are they any good?? I probably wouldnt buy this one, the seller is registered as being in Jordan, yet the chip is in Germany....

20 bhp for £38 - doubtful. My engine's too small to be chipped but if you do a search here there was a discussion about them before christmas that you may find useful. ;)

Thanks mate I'll have a bit of a search around.... I thought it seemed a bit cheap for that amount of extra BHP but who knows.....

I got my 3 litre chip off Ebay, from Berlin, £35, works fine, quite a noticable difference, well worth it. :)

I had a "chip" on my old 3.0 elite and it was rather good. :)

I had mine off Mtekperformance (he's a member here) and although it cost quite a bit more, £135ish, it was matched exactly to my ecu so I knew I was getting the correct mapping.
Also I knew the chip was from Collins Power Engineering who are very well known and respected for their products in this field.

Customer service was excellent too.

Oh, and I'll be fitting another one to my current elite (and probably the MV6 :D) within the next few weeks. :)

However saying all that, gpb seems happy enough with his, and nothing bad has happened yet.

Where exactly do you find your ECU number. I am interested in trying the chip as it is pretty cheap but he quotes ECU: 0261204589 Chipnumber: 1037357874 and I want to make sure I have the same one before committing to buying. From what I can find it seems to be a 3 litre ECU, any one any ideas if this is definately for a 2.5 V6 ?
