if who ever mapped your car did so by removing the Eprom chip from the ecu, installed a map and then fitted either the same eprom chip (if its re writeable) or a new eprom they need shooting.

why would you "chip" a modern car when it can be mapped through the OBD2?

it makes no sense, unless they like practising precision soldering?

why did they chip it?

 

[Arctic_182]

They didn't remove the chip it was a re-flash

 

[Gouldy]

It hasnt been chipped then has it :/

So they flashed the map on did they?

So you went for a generic map then?

Any rollers involved ?

Cost etc?

 

[Arctic_182]

placebo effect, car will probably have had the ignition timing advanced by about 1.5 to 2 degress. unless of course you have had your limiter raised, in which the case the cells that govern the length of the injector pulses probably havent been altered to suit and your car will go bang. so im looking forward to "help my car has blown up and i dont know why" thread.

yes, yes i am.

people need to learn the correct terms for things. otherwise mis conceptions become common knowledge and i end up reading threads that dont make sense, (because of lack of knowledge) or i end up at car meets and shows with people talking absolute crap to me causing me head ache.

:nono:

had all my n/a cars remapped & driven hard, never had a problem of it going bang

No, I didn't. Chipping is not the same. Read above.

I never said a re mapped car would go bang when driven hard. Read above.
