But thanks for the write up chap!

I got one of these chips of ebay a while back and never had any problems, just smoothed out the accelleration a bit. Beauty is its just an EPROM chip so can now reproduce these at work whenever i want :)

are you interested in copying me one ????

Any chance you can email the map file from the chip? It's probably a file i've already got if it's an ebay chip but still worth being nosy :nerd:

if its a power chips one  it'll be an offset map,  have quite a collection of hex files from chips as well

i don't have an 8 Valve digi so cant coment  do have a copy of the digifast chip tho that is apparently good, don't know if it's the original digifast tho.

just thought tho, how about of  club/ fourum testing and do some propper testing on the chipping argument. 

will need soem volonteers  tho   but the basic idea goes like this.

get paws on as meany digi 2 maps as possible.   compare them all to find out how meany unique ones there are (  probably not that meany tbh )

the ppl participating in trial get sent  said selection of chips ( of course one of them will be standard )     and mark them on various as yet undecided things and write the odd report if they wish.     then for the carrot  everyone who participates gets a free copy of the chip that's voted best


anyone up fot it.    think i have enough 2nd hand eproms here if i can find a uv box or i'll stand the cost of some new ones.   
then possobly flog a few to ppl on the fourm that din't take part in trial to cover cost ( if any incurred )  then possobly they chould go in club shop or something so any sales support the forum

I'd be up for it would not mind sharing any cost in the name of science. Would be good to have engines in various states of tune aswell.
