Boost is the same side as the map sensor.

Has your ECU got sockets in them already so you can change the chip?

[RoadKill]

I really doubt that the problem was the MRC chips. In my experience, Mihnea purposely does NOT tune very lean, so that your problem, or pinging, are avoided. This is not true of some other software suppliers. I would look to fuel pump or injector issues before blaming the MRC chips.

Of course everyone is human, not gods, but I must second to that it is barely possible to melt a piston with normal chips like MRC or other good company does. You need "assistance" from vacuum leak (in the hoses before the turbo), dodgy N75 valve, or other things UrS4boy mentioned...

The only problem with generic maps is people put them in their car without checking other components 1st.
