Excellent stuff, sounds promising. So how do i get my mits on one of these  ?

Contact Nick at R Tech and he should be able to sort one out for you.

A few people have said they are going to start doing chips for the ABF, including R-Tech, has anyone got one ready to go? and has anyone done a power test with the chip?

Chips to take away?  lol not us m8. 
The chips we will be doing for the mk2 & 3 petrol engines will be base on the read from the file on the oem chip.  There are 100s of software and hardware combinations and to get the car to running right the tuned map software will need to match the hardware and build date. A mix matched chip will work and will give a bit more power aur can cause higher fuel comsumption, cold start issues, higher emmisions, and engine knock, but with a true map based on the correct sw you will  far better results, which the correct start up enrichment, correct emmison controls correct fuel and ignition. If a job is worth doing it is worth doing right.

You can send your ecu or chip to us, or you can pop in to us. Where are you from?

have aquired quite a collection of chips for the abf,  and  done a couple of my own now.  just dosent seem worth doing them to sell.  with time and before and after dynoruns.   tho have got to go and get a baseline for my new engine so if still have dyno time will take a couple of diffrent ecu's and keys and post results

Brilliant news m8!

My main worry was the chip type and edited sw checksumm, but i think your last post has just gave me the answer I was hoping for..

Let me know how you get on when you do your next track day.  Which track do you use?

We took the Golf to Goodwood last Friday for its first trackday since fitting your chip.

It was all good, the car seems to pick up better in both third and fourth gear after braking for the corners. It revs and pulls well all the way up to the red line. We were hitting the rev limiter in fourth on the approach to Woodcote corner (117mph) . The car didn't miss a beat all day, 7 sessions on the track and a 2 1/2 hour journey both there and back.

Looking forward to testing it out next month at Abingdon on a track I know well.

Well impressed.

Cheers

Hello Paul,

Sound like you had some good fun then!  We have just purchased a second hand Bosch load based rolling road and the Bosch diagnostics system which will allow us to tune the older cars on the dyno. It should be installed over the next 2 or 3 weeks, so if you even want to pop down for a fine tune and data logging session just drop me a pm.  Once the Bosch dyno and the old skool diagnostics system has been fitted we will be offering the chip tuning service as a every day thing.

Any info on the chips for the mk2?
I'm guessing that means PB engines?
Does this mean if we bring our cars to you you can custom write a chip for it?
cheers

Would be quite interested in a 'non-generic' chip for a mk2 so any info would be grand
