blue98t5 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Doesn't Oliver sell the ecu/ecm upgrades on ebay from time to time? If so does he have a paypal account that we can use to send him our payments, and just make notes that we are part of the VS group buy?Edit: Just found this. Copy and Past in the search box on ebay. Then click on sellers other Items....7998211201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BRICK Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I spoke w/ Oliver again today...Im not gonna go for this...at least not rite now...good luck guys..also...someone can call and confirm w/ him the meaning of "free remaps".He told me that his "free remaps" are remaps of the same maps u have in case ST comes w/ a newer variation of ur map...not a free remap if u decide to add a larger down pipe or different fuel injectors, etc....also he does "flash" the existing chip...but he can do the flashing on a separate chip and solder in a socket so that u can replace chips on ur own...extra charge for that tho....seriously tho...great guy...give him a call...b4 u commit...plsps...he also told me that he wood not accept Paypla for this :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blown_volvo850r Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 It'd be kinda nice to have a chip tuned for max boost and 93 octane fuel...and another one to run low boost on 87 octane for max gas milage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 it would be interesting to see if it is possible to program a chip for ultra fuel economy.that would be an interesting project especilly now with fuel prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S40Monster Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hi Derrick,As I said, no custom tuning for the group buy, the pricing for customtuning is obviously handled individually. The free upgrade would be forupdated standard software versions.Best regards,OliverHonestly I haven't been overly impressed with his service, he responds quickly but doesn't really answer in depth questions. Looks like I'm stuck with an off the shelf 12T program, not really what I wanted but better then I have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely more helpful and courteous over the phone then he appears to be through e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan_B Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 My car is a lot faster now, and I owe that to Oliver, but I wish I would have listen to a certain hot mod and gone with UPSOLUTE <sp> :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperman135 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I have email him and he says that he can do custum tuning. Does that mean he can tune to dyno maps? That my big question.Also I dont think anyone has brought this up. But once we get chipped we are going to have to run 93 is that right? Thats what I was thinking.....keep that in mind with gas prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvo4lif3 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 If your car is turbo charged, you should run 91 or higher anyways. Plan B Posted Yesterday, 08:56 AM My car is a lot faster now, and I owe that to Oliver, but I wish I would have listen to a certain hot mod and gone with UPSOLUTE <sp> And why do you wish you would have gone with upsolute?

T5BRICK Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 And why do you wish you would have gone with upsolute?so he could sell his car and buy a Lexus. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the underlørd Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 And why do you wish you would have gone with upsolute?upsolute is the LAST chip that I would ever put in a volvo that I owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
