installed #2 performance chip.. wow!!

[greezmunky]

the reviews on lew are pretty much spot on.. 1st impressions:
1. smooth idle at 800rpm vs. old lumpy 900 rpm idle
2. so smooth around town, especially below 3k rpm
3. boost comes in gradually between 3k-4k rpm vs slamming you in the face at 4k.
4. acceleration is just retarded. I have no better work to describe it. flooring it in 3rd gear at 3k rpm is feels like i'm driving a rocket.
5. car runs much cooler, fans come on <90c and dont turn off until thermostat is below 85.

Overall I'm 100% satisfied with the chip, installed it myself with a $6 soldering iron and about 2 hours of my time. Next mod on my list is a new boost gauge, followed by some more weight stripping.

I'm pleased for you. Got mine back today and I am grinning from ear to ear. Almost forgot how quick these cars are and floored it in second, the back end wobbled and squirmed and I left a long black number eleven on the home straight !!!

Cautionary note: MUST take it easy in the wet...

May I ask where you got the chip from ?

Cheers
