i was wondering, is it possible to "chip tune" the magnas?
i think it is, cuz i did chip tune my bimmer back in Holland.

if so, what are the avarage cost and what is the best place to go?

does anyone has his magna chipped..

cuz im thinking of doing something to get the performance up without to much hassle..
its nice and u can turn it off when police is around.. (that only is when its dubble chipped)
if possible and im gonna do it, i pobably put under the "power" button.. just as easy!

thanks cheers

o oke lol

euhm I only know it as chip tuning but anyway, its changing software..
your software runs on a chip that recieves everything, and you can ad or change it by a computer program.. never heard of it? maybe it has a diferent name to what i know..

yes power chip does do retunes of factory ECU's mainly with eproms, bit expensive, might as well get a Greddy E-Manage.

Thanks for registering with Powerchip. As soon as a chip becomes available in the future for your car we will contact you. Please feel free to browse our products pages for information about other cars.

lol, no chip for TR's yet :cry: that weird man.. talking about 93 TR :doubt:

Powerchip requirement:
You specified that you currently run Standard Unleaded Only. Unfortunately, you must run a higher grade of fuel to have a Powerchip installed. Please select a higher grade of fuel:

oke that makes sense.. can you just change to optimax fuel? or doesn't it make any diferents? cuz im not really seeing the diferents.. has higher octane, but should that relate to the chip?

who drives here with ecu?

thanks for info dude!
