I think he has finished his programming course and can re-map stock chips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 I chipped my old Mazda GTX. Obviously you're gonna get more out of a turbo, but it was a massive difference, which led to broken gearbox and 2 clutches. Id love to feel what diff it makes in an NA.

Obviously you're gonna get more out of a turbo, but it was a massive difference, which led to broken gearbox and 2 clutches. Id love to feel what diff it makes in an NA. but having said that, what GTX hasnt done about 3 gearboxes and 5 clutches in their time? As soon as they get lowered the CVs get pushed into the gearbox further than they should be and that causes added strain on the gearbox. Shortened CVs are the way to solve that problem. In an N/A I dont think it would make a hugely noticeable difference... Your probably better off doing a whole aftermarket computer and getting it dyno tuned. I hear link computers are pretty cheap, but then i also hear that its like car audio - you get what you pay for... from what I understand, Haltech make good computers (along with apexi and the like - but im not sure they make them for euros) - try advanced imports or beyond perfomance or somthing similar up in auckland, but im not too sure how well they cater to Euros - it would be interesting to find out...

A programmable chip is only as good as its tuner - which is true for all of them. The link and microtech ECUs are easily best value for money and can yeild some sweet results.
