A while back I decided to have my ecu remapped. Since I have a '97 and have read pretty extensively on the issues that can occur with regard to the OBDII system- I was a bit hesitant. My mechanic suggested he had good experiences with a particular chip tuner. I told him I felt more comfortable with Rennsport but, against my better judgement, I deferred to his experience.
Needless to say, I had a whole lot of problems with the remapped chip: consistent CEL stating misfiring valves, o2 sensor, etc... After a few weeks of this, I decided to send the chip to Steve Weiner (Rennsport).
I know many on this forum have used Steve's services in the past. I would like to add my opinion. I have put a couple hundred miles on the car - with no CEL issues. The car definitely has better throttle response and more power throughout the rpm range. I am a very satisfied customer.
Thanks so much Steve!

Hi Alex:
I'm very pleased that the ECU remap fixed the CEL issues for you and you are happy with the way the car is now performing.
Happy to be of service, anytime.

I am also a very happy rennsport customer. ![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
I ordered a chip for my '95 and received it in two days! I have done a couple of hundred miles since the installation, my car is noticeably more powerful and the throttle response is better.
Thank you Steve.

No problem Steve.
I have just read so many horror stories about remapping OBDII cars that I think its important to know that certain places are doing it correctly.
Thanks again and I'll be looking forward to sending my tranny off to you to be rebuilt with a set of shorter gears this winter.

I've got a 97 ECU on the way to Steve right now.... that will eventually be reprogrammed to plug into my 96 (once I decide if I want supercups or not)... always nice to see the positive feedback ahead of time!
