fitting a chip !

[saloonwoody]

ok i have a ecu chip coming (not the potato kind !) and iv never fitted one b4 so how do i do it ?????

For XE???

Crack open the ECU, screws, clips & what not.

Locate the chip(s) that are being switched & typically carefully unsolder them, solder a chip holder into its place & then push the chip into its holder, assuming you know the correct way round etc....

Any gen on what you've bought, where from etc?

[saloonwoody]

i bought it off ebay apprently eds but ill see ? just says increased power and rev limit raised to 7400 ?
ill give it a go n see wot occurs :P

Shame power peaks well below there though? Lol

Unless of course you have different cams etc fitted

[staggy_gsi]

like craig said, solder a chip holder in and push the chip into that. DO NOT solder the chip in as you can wipe it!!

[saloonwoody]

OH RITE ill give it n the ecu to the auto electrician we use at work :)
yea it did say for best use with cams but iv not got any.......yet ;)
