need to know a good chip to buy for mk3 2.0 16v ?????????????

[slammed mk3 i6v]

looked about for a chip for my car and i ended up getting a power chips chip which was crap made it run powerless every now and then, so i took it out and put the original back, i then ordered another chip from ebay which says its from germany but when it comes though the post its actually from lithuania claiming it will give my golf 171bhp but when i fitted it and tried starting my car it wouldnt start ?? so as you can imagine im getting annoyed with crap knock off chips and need to know where i can get a decent chip from please help?

Crinkle Cut.

They are, after all about as useful as an ecu chip.

what code ecu do you have ?

I'd be interested to hear about this too as I'm fitting an ABF into my mk2.

Do they not have a flashable ecu chip thingymajig dooda?

And yes I do have ALL the technical jargon

My  ecu code is 037 906 024 AB if that helps

nope there eprom

most of the ecu's have pn  ending in BE  these are what most of the ebay chips are for, i bought a powerchips eprom ( to suit BE ) out the classifides section just to read and have a look what they did,   cost me £20 posted  if anyone wants it make me an offer.  it's only offset map tho

have other maps for BE  ecu  may get round to testing them at some point tho keep saying that and can't see it happening now,  defo won't be dynotesting them anymore as now have a checksum free ecu so much easyer to change things  so will be useing that from now on

contact the r-tech boys in the remapping section on here..you'll get a proper chip, rather than a non working generic type

they never seemed very keen and din't really want to know tbh,    tho most tuners choulnt really care tho at end of day it's old kit,  more work and people wont spend as much so understandable really.  those that had offerings were just offset maps so thats why looked at doing own.

it's easy enough to do bit tedious without the pros kit but for one off time was cheeper than the kit
