Just wondering if anybody had any experiences with diy chips? Not apposed to spending cash, just like saving it!!! (yeah yeah all the scottish jokes to follow!!)
Just curious is this is an option or a total no go!
Dunno about 1.6bar overboost - that is some way into choke on the K24 turbo.... I'd be skeptical. Don't forget you'll to fit sockets in your ECU too - these won't be just plug and play.
Why risk it, these chips have no background just a long journey from Lithuania and could do expensive damage to your engine especially if they've defeated any of Motronic's protection mechanisms and you've got to get them soldered in or do it yourself.
Go the Homefries route: plenty of feedback on here to show it does the business - safely.
Yeah cheers John, just curious to be honest, getting them installed isnt a prob but like you said, could really be ANYTHING programmed on them!

It is high probability, that you will get software on the chip. There are few kinds floating around here. Also there are few respected chip tuners here, who know how to make good chip for 3b. If you are lucky - you may get copy of their custom mapped software, which is good, however it is usually designed for specific car/setup.
So it's like a lottery. You may get good locally made software, you can get copy of abt/digitech/superchips/whatever branded or "branded" chip, which is probably the most expected, and you can get something very wrong what will destroy your engine or even blank chip. Like everywhere - there are good and honest people and bad people.
