Default Chip Question

Hey guys right now I am running a set of APE chips and they are to rich for my taste on idle, I was wondering how the Lindsey chips are during first start up on idle?

I know mine tend to have a decent amount of fuel, and it's pretty strong until it warms up. Thanks for the input.

honestly I don't know what my AFR's are, don't have a wideband yet... I have a narrow band that I can install if you think it would give me a general idea. Only thing done to the car is APE chips, MBC set 2 15psi, rebuilt wastegate (teamcrossworks).

I have a set of Russell Berry 951MAXIII chips for sale for $100 shipped. These are the same chips that Lindsey sells. The chips are for K26/6 turbo, AFM, stock injectors, 15-18psi and 3 Bar FPR.

PM me if interested.

I ran a Weltmeister K26-6 chip (24 pin) in my K26-8 car for years. It required a shimmed WG but it held 14.5 psi to 6K and ran very well. I always passed smog testing here with it. I eventually changed to a Vitesse 26-8 chip for the added 1.5 psi. I sold the car but still have the Welt chip. $65/shipped if anyone wants it.

At idle, the O2 sensor should bring the AFR in-line to ~14.7...
How old is your O2?

As Rogue_Ant alluded to, new chips aren't really going to help your AFR at idle when you're running in closed loop mode with your O2 sensor. Save your money (maybe for a new O2 sensor) if that's your only concern.
