I have read through his feed back and a couple from VR6 owners saying its a good power increase

is it a plug and go or a complete waste of time and money?

Without looking at it id say its a resistor that tricks engine into overfueling........ie making it think its still cold

Iv seen those resistors, a little black diode with 2 pins coming off. This is a replacement chip?

well there has been a lot of chat about these but I personally dont know on anyone that has fitted one. However I can see them making a difference on an obd1 car, might be worth a punt ?

I've always been concerned by these, u never really know if they or not

what puts me off about the advert is when they say they'll send fittin instructions by email...... Y not post it with the item???

If u do get one letus know what happens

Get a proper map, dont bother with this at all, probably will do more harm and good!

C2 are doing a chip group guide, and stealth are doing an offer for mapping for VR6OC members.

what power would you expect a OBD2 (pretty sure its a 2 from throttle body thats on it and reading threads on here. its a 1995)

at the mo it has stainless exhaust cat back and K&N filter. just bought de cat and going to get stainless manifold? where in the south can get it maped and would it be worth doing after the de cat and maifold are fitted?

also what else can I do without supercharge and turbo for use on track and keep reliable
