The main thing to check when buying a chip box is that its like the one I have, (Racechip) and connects to the common rail and the boost pressure sensor as well.Brien B said:I have seen a few chips on e-bay ranging from a few quid to several hundred quid, anyone bought one or know someone who has ?went to the site posted by Tech and seems i can get one for 130euro
Yes sometimes if the map is set too high on either a remap or tuning box, you get pre-detenation (pinking/rattle sound) when pulling away and the way to combat it is to slip the clutch keeping the revs high when pulling away.Brien B said:My buddy got a re-map "not a chip" on one of his new Audi A4s from a well known company and it effected the clutch on the car "Burnt it out" might have been a one off but you never know so don't really want to go down that road just in case.
I have the "basic" Racehip box. For anyone thinking of taking the plunge, I found Racechips extremely good to deal with. Although I think I recall that the box camewith a general setting,as Tech-Yeti says, the box allows adjustment to fine tune to the drivers preference.Tech-Yeti said:Yes sometimes if the map is set too high on either a remap or tuning box, you get pre-detenation (pinking/rattle sound) when pulling away and the way to combat it is to slip the clutch keeping the revs high when pulling away.Brien B said:My buddy got a re-map "not a chip" on one of his new Audi A4s from a well known company and it effected the clutch on the car "Burnt it out" might have been a one off but you never know so don't really want to go down that road just in case.
The proper way is to remap it again or turn the tune settings down a click on a box.
