what the chip or the XRD? how easy is it to fit the chip is it a simple pull out old one push in new one? i've heard so much about chips not working in certain ECU's how can you be sure it'll be ok?

I have the XRD.

When you order a chip from them they ask for the 'S' number off the old chip to be sure it works

Na you need to de-solder old one and replace it with the superchip.. could have it done and be watching Coronation St after 4-5 mins.

How much you pay for the XRD Chet?

What do you use it for Chet? Where have you actually installed it?

Also did you install the shift light with the Fastchip?

George it just plugs into the diagnostic socket. Best place to moutn it is below the heater controls above the ciggy lighter bit.

What the shift light plugs in or the XRD does Chris? Cause if its as simple as plugging it into the diag socket and flush mounting the XRD somewhere on the dash I'm deff getting one! Very Happy

XRD plugs in there.

Whats the shift light? Is it a stand alone effort or what?

Some run off the ECU others from the coil.

If you have a look at the Fastchip it comes with a shift light for dash mounting.... just had a look and you manually connect it to the diag socket...

I'm gettin one of those USB-IDE HD convertor things, you seen them?

Forum Moderator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 1356

Yes, but if you are getting one make sure it is USB 2.0 or firewire if you can afford...

Retroholic Joined: 12 Feb 2004 Posts: 5685

The one i'm lookin at is USB 2.0, any links for firewire ones?
