Bruce,
Please double check the Chip #5 youre getting. Make sure that you get the latest Version 2. This is the real thing, because only this one has some high boost management bugs eliminated.

If you happen to get a cheap illegal clone one from Ebay or similar source please be aware.

Cheers

Bugs? COuld you elaborate? I had the #5 chip, version 1, and loved it. Never had a problem. I now have the #6, version 2 and love it as well.

Yes Rich, the versions 1 had a quite "loose" high boost management causing overboost problems more likely than the versions 2 in some engine setups.

The version 2 is more "tighter" in high-boost-control.

Hi Marcus,

I have a #5 chip (bought with my car two years ago) and I'm gettting strange boost spikes under WOT. How do I tell if I have a version 2 chip (chip says moto-concepts 330)?

so the chip I got is a V1, guess that is too bad.. sounds to risky to use in my car. I wonder how a seller who claims experience in these chips and says they are not copies and says they come from used cars that he wants to sell with stock chips, can claim that he does not know about V1 and V2 chips.. it took me all of a day to find out...

I'm guessing you got yours from Ian Fenech-Soler at impconcepts.com, AKA shokwaverider. I have asked him to cease and desist munerous times, without much luck. I am fairly certain the #5 clones he sells have a defect in a couple of bytes that makes them useless. Buyer beware.

Hey ... now the plot thickens...
This guy uses your car and your website as information on how to install the chip. He even mails a printed version with the chip. He says you made a deal with him about using your page. there is a link on the instruction page that is for your personal page and when i clicked on it I got bombed with popups so hard that my computer crashed hard for the first time in years..... I alerted the seller that yout page has some problems and he said that you guys had a deal. and he had tokeep the link there.

So man what a strange twist to see you pop up here saying he is bad news when he says he works with you..

You've managed to turn this into three threads, here are my replies to your other posts:

Hi Bruce,

If you are talking about shokwaverider/Ian/impconcepts, I have never supported him in any way whatsoever. Any chips he is selling are, to the best of my knowledge, illegal clones, some of which may actually be defective. I do not for a minute believe his story that he gets these chips from used cars. In the past month alone he has sold or listed 10-12 chips on ebay.

The only authorized sellers of Marcus' chips in the USA are myself and possibly JAE.

The website pictures are another sore spot. He originally took most of those pictures from my website, along with a few from other peoples websites. He did this without asking. When I asked him to remove my pictures, he pleaded with me to allow him to keep them up. In a moment of weakness, I agreed, with the proviso that I receive credit. Unfortunately, this gives the impression that I approve of the rest of it.


He may SAY he works with me, but I do NOT work with him or have any connection to him. I have asked him nicely to desist, I have asked him not-so-nicely to desist. Obviously without much luck.
