Re: Who makes the best chip/ ECU upgrade? 850 1994 Turbo

posted by  someone claiming to be Aussie Pete on  Wed Jan 10 12:39 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Echoing the previous writer's comments - I just installed a PowerChip and I hold everyone responsible for not making the improvements clear. I've been wasting my time until now and consider the last year of my life to be lost!

Anyhow, it's a balance of priorities. I find reliability to be important. That's why I went PowerChip with their ability to tailor chip for the car and its current mods. They run similar power to TME (215kW vs 220kW for TME), however torque is limited in mid range to 410Nm (TME 430Nm) to keep combustion pressures lower (reduced knock risk). This is achieved by using 11psi boost vs others who use 14-15psi.

I must say that the TME system of downloading the upgrade rather than rechipping is very attractive, however I haven't heard bad stuff about rechips.

Try PowerChip at www.powerchip.com.au

By the way, their customer service is mind blowing, awesomely good!

Prices in Aussie pesos - A$1.00 = US$0.565
