[QUOTE=No dyno is needed, other than a properly functioning butt version of one, to feel the difference in most of the cars. It's real,[/QUOTE]
That is exactly the point I was making earlier - if you cant feel the difference behind the wheel - aint no point to it!!!

I've been reading these chip posts for 4 years now & it seems that there is a process of 4 steps to get it right.
1. Euromuff
2. Sport exhaust
3. Chip tuned for the above
4. Ignor the troll

BTW, who on these boards would ever support such a condescending a$$ who insults groups of potential customers thusly? I'd buy new, used, whatever before I'd ever send anything to such a jerk for repair. While I hope I don't have such an issue, I'll vote with my dollars if I ever do.
Now, back to my Blue Moon and my Cuban...

Ian you are correct the chip is only a part of the upgrade process and is best replaced last after all other tuning is done to maximise the full potential of the chip (if custom set up - off the shelf chip would not matter when fitted... unless set up for the mods you are adding to your car).
My car has had a few other tweaks - but apart from the exhaust note - no real diff at the seat behind the wheel until the chip was installled - then WOW!!

O.K. Now I owe Pete and Ed a big steak. Diamond, you are invited too, but the drive may kill you..
I'm serious guys, when Ed gets to California everyone is gettin' steak.

I tried numerous performance enhancments to my 87 carrera and the SW chip made a huge, immediate difference in the WOW! factor. I hated the mid-range flat spot that everyone who owns one knows about. Now its a distant memory.
Thanks Steve!

Impossible. 100% of Loren's polled say that can't happen.
