    MTM tuning chips on ebay. Too good to be true?

    S2/S4/S6 "MTM" chips on ebay for £120 as against the 750 euro asked by MTM. Looks too good to be true to me, only 7 feedback as well.

    Probably not real. Real MTM chipa would have labela and the fuel chip would be sitting on an MTM daughter/scrambler board like this one:

    94 UrS4 V8 6 spd manual avant

      Maybe a simple funcionable copy.

      Why not?

        It might be... But then it may not.

        Why take the risk?

          I can't comment on the eBay chips, I certainly wouldn't use such 'unknown' software unless I had wideband AFR, EGT and boost gauges to see what the engine is actually doing. If their proper copies then their good value, if their not you could end up killing your motor, it's a pretty big gamble.

          PRJ on here is the man for generic chips, he's just done me a set for 200 Euro's delivered, slightly more than the eBay one's but you get what you pay for.

          Thanks for the photo Dave, it further confirms the origin of the software in my RS2's ECU, same hand writing and my motor chip is sat in a daughter board.
