Volvoman37 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 i paid $300 + a stock chip for mine, so i'm setting the price at $250 + a stock chip.chip originally bought from another member on here, a long while ago. no problems with it at all, install is a snap and the gains were immediate.reason for selling: my dad found out about it my mechanic let it slip that i had chipped it so the jig is up. sad to see it go, but at least my gas milage will go up since i wont be able to hit 17psi any more tuned for 15psi on stock setup (i believe). obviously the best thing to do would be to have it reflashed for your exact setup, but i never bothered and i loved having the extra boost.i'm not sure exactly how i wanna do the exchange, i'm fairly sure my roommate (ericF) has a chip i can use while this one is in transit.posting in this thread doesnt mean anything, PMs will be the only accepted 'in' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvoman37 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 have your dad drive it stock, then with the chip, and see if he changes his mind.i wish that were an option he's not one for appreciating something like that. all he sees is potential for it to explode, nevermind i've been driving at 17psi for the past year and had no problems whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96PlatinumEdition850 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Go sell some random stuff you don't need anymore on eBay and give your dad that money. Tell him you couldn't sell it for very much because of 2 previous owners and it was only 15psi, just make something up. Then keep it in your car.

ViperVette Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 That sounds like a pretty good price for someone who wants a chip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just boost? timing? Can i keep my mbc and run17psi safely with a 16t straight flanged turbo and 3inch exhuast.installation is VERY simple. take off the ECU/TCU cover under the hood, located near your passenger side headlight (might have to use a screwdriver to pop off one of the clips) pull out the old one, put the new one in, and put the cover back on.at least that's how i did it. 2) i have no idea. my car is pretty much completely stock except for the chip. it would spike up to 20 psi with no problems, and hold around 15-17 regularly. in 3rd gear it would hold 18psi until the shift with no problems. like i said, ideally you should have it reflashed for your exact setup, but it WILL allow more boost than a stock chip.
