I am the happy Rennlister Buckroo Banzi...
My initial impression "un F__king believable"
Holding off posting till I had completed 400 miles of day to day driving.
Have a couple of minor glitches.
1. Boost Spike? I have a Lindsey MBC and going to
swap it out for an Accuboost tomorrow.
2. Cold start, car coughs stumbles backfires when riving cold engine.
This morning I just drove the car and it stumbled when getting aggressive
in first...it runs fantastic when it warms up and it appears to warm up faster than the Authority Chip..
There is no way I can adequately express my frustration disappointment and expense with the Authority Chips. The car ran horribly, needless to say I would not recommend the Authority Chips to anybody based on my experience.
I will however indorse the Devek Chip without hesitation and what I cannot rave enough about is the "customer service" Anders and the folks at Devek have got be some of nicest in the business no bull if I didn't know Anders was Swedish I would have sworn he was Canadian that's how nice he is to deal with....

Might be interested in these. . . I'm currently running weltmeisters and a shimmed gate. That's it. I imagine these would result in some pretty nice fun if I only could summon the courage to add a boost controller. I inherently hate MBCs - too many horror stories of milkshakes and blown h.g.s. . . and EBCs are too bloody expensive - so I stay stock.

Any more lean and it can det. very slightly (as of dyno three days ago). Based on experience, eh ST!

We also tried the Accuboost and got better boost control and boost build-up but since we could not cure the intermittent problems we went back to the previous settings. Got 15 psi 250 rpm's sooner than with the "black ****" style controller when using the accuboost.
The cutout problems could be injector related since they are installed without ballast resistors and the problem only occurs on full load.
The fuel consumption of the car has gone from 12-15 mpg with the Autothority chips to 23 mpg with the DEVEK chips. The owner reported (with a smile on his face) that during spirited driving the usage was 20 mpg. Apparently the wife had asked what had happened to the car since it had much more power than before.
We will soon release a MAP-kit and turbo upgrades and are soon starting tests of a new Engine Management System that looks very promising. If you are shopping for these items in a near future it could be wise to contact me for some info and pricing.

New update on the DEVEK chips. The cold start problems on Randes car are gone and it is making healthy power that is currently limited by the MAF-kit that was on the car when Rande came to us. The custom made chips do their work but it will not be possible to make more power without a piggy-back or standalone system.
Stay tuned for more info on DEVEK 951 products.
