He-He.... eBay chip finally fitted =)

Finally got my chip from eBay soldered in today. Pound for pound  an absolute bargain, pulls miles harder now     Definitely worth a buy for cheap power.

Who soldered it in for you

Cost and location ?

Been needing mine doing for ages

It was a local guy, here his website www.itrustrepair.co.uk (or something like that, if its not right just google "itrustrepair Chorley Tim" tim's his name) he specializes in laptop and PC repair. He is based in Chorley in Lancashire. You might be able to post it to him and he'll send it back for a cost. As for price he only charged me £20 for unsoldering the old chip and fitting the new one. Hope this helps.

What Mk3 has the chip been installed into and are there any other modifications to complement the chip?

[MickP mk3]

Yeah it was one of the power chip ones, im well impressed with it. As for car and mods, its a 8v GTI and all iv done so far is a K&N in a mod'd air box (see my other posts for that). Next on my list is a decat and adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

Why the need for a fpr? You'll loose power with anything higher than standard, with least on a 200hp abf.. Don't bother.

I had a adjustable fuel reg on a 1.8 Mazda I used to have and it worked a treat. I have noticed the setup on the golf is quite different, is it because of the way its setup its not worth doing?
