just checked the maps i have,    i have 2 to put forward for testing,   most of the digi 2 ones were the same when compared,  the other has v simlar maps  but there are some quite big differances in the rest of the data so looks promising.

27c64 eproms  arn't avalible new and not avalible 2nd hand for reasonable money,   
i have 12 x27c128's that are useable whitch will do to start with and they are avalable 2nd hand for about 72p each  :smiley: 
27c256 eeproms are also useable  and are commonly avalibel new for about £2 in low quanties.  more expensive  but new and i have shed loads of them here
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

iirc the original chip and the 'higherpeaks' ebay chip were both 27c256's


I don't think a semi will give the same results

it shouldn't have been a 27c256.   it may well have one in there but it won't be original if you read it you'll find the same data copyed 4 times

I have got a chip infront of me but can't remember if its standard or not.

M2764AF1

Will have to dig out my old ecu and get the date from that. Danny when I have the files, i'll send them over to you, and you wana send me yours we'll compare the figures and see whats what, that sound ok to you? To be honest i'm sure the values will be almost exactly the same but it'd be interesting to find out... Like hell i'm guna mess with them tho, could be a disaster waiting to happen :crazy:

i have been through ALL my digifant II maps and found that there are only 2 worth taking note off.

all the ebay ships do apper to be the same,  now been through 8 diffrent digi 2 chips    7 of them are identical. 

so there are 3 chips to test atm  who's up for it ?

danny_p I'm happy to take part in this trial...would be pretty interesting to see the outcome.

I'm going to be putting the car on rollers nearing the end of summer so might see if i can get one run before and one run after with 'said' chosen chip. Would give pretty conclusive results on the chips effects.

Running 8v digi, only mod will be 4 branch and exhaust (not fitted yet)

If trial doesnt go ahead I'll put my name down for a chip anyway...

Keep me posted, cheers :)

think they will,  will find a file from a cat equiped car and compare, TC is running an ecu with a lambda so that won't be hard to find.

so so far we have
