SUPERCHIP OR RSPORT ECU

Re: Archived Post from old forum
This happened to me.
I had mine Superchipped - there's no alternative where I am on the other side of the world.
A while later I went to the dealer complaining about something else altogether - the inaccuracy of the trip computer readings actually - and the dealer decided something was amiss in the ECU. They couldn't figure out what it was, so they started trying to write new values into it. They only realised it was that it was rechipped when I told them. To this day the neither the dealer or I know for certain whether what they tried to do overwrote what Superchips put in the car.
Superchips said they couldn't have, because the only way the Superchips dealer had been able to get a new map into my car was by pulling out the ECU and soldering a new chip into it, so they were pretty certain Renault couldn't have permanently overwritten the map through the OBDII port. But later I found out everyone else can.

A4 oil burner !!!
I had a SS Magnex cat back fitted,viper kit and a superchip fitted about 18 months ago. RR before mods was 171.5 Bhp then after 174.5 Bhp so not alot of difference but the torque graph had definitely improved. Feels a lot keener to pull from lower down in the rev range. I am happy with the mods.
Waiting for Yozza to get some more decats in then will get it fitted at the same time they do my inlet manifold @Angelworks. Ben said there was no need to get the ecu reflashed to cater for the mods so will see how it goes !
