mk2 golf 8v blitz chip
« on: 05 March 2011, 13:26 »
I just installed a blitz chip i bought off ebay and now my car seems sluggish and flat under acceleration. Is there anything else i need to do other than change the chip?

Thanks

Remap is better, if it is not genuine you may cause damage.

it's an eeprom  reader/burner

lets you download the data off the eeprom and save it,  then you can load it into a program like IDA and look at it / piss about with it. and burn it back to an eeprom.   or just download / share / copy known good files and chips  and make your own copys
