depends on the ecu software,for example my chips boost 2.0bar by 3500rpm but there are many options about different ecu setups...

and about stock RS2,i never drove it but i´ve heard that there are more lagg and much less boost,it should be very bored to drive

friend done chiping on his rs2 , and he said that stock is better..

Mine is chipped and it is alot quicker than a stock RS2. The torque is great aswell.

speak to Doug and co at MRC they can give you some very good advise regarding this issue.

cheers

i know it soposed to be quicker i am asking about turbo lag

Shurely you mean boost threshhold? As simply chipping a car wont alter the lag

I think that says a lot about the 'chips' you ran. Stock has more lag, less torque, less power and worse fuel economy than a good quality map.

i've driven stock Rs2.
and chipped Rs2 boost comes in about thesame as stock,around 3000rpm.

My RS2 was awesome on MRC chips, I can highly recommend it..

Never had it stock, it had AMD chips when i bought it but i preferred the MRC ones.

No amount of chipping the car will reduce the lag.
Chipped cars can "feel" as if they have more lag, because the turbo is allowed to produce more boost and so it takes a bit longer to reach max torque.

As for people stating that stock is better than chipped - well, don't buy your chips on ebay or from some idiot who does not know what he is doing.
Best case, it will be worse or not start. Worst case - you will blow your engine and your turbo.

Bo¡ how many boost you had to the redline with your MRC chips?

[s2_bo]

From memory it peaked at 1.9 bar and then trailed off. I never really looked at the tacho or boost gauge when approaching redline in 4th or 5th..

Here are the power graphs from before/after chip on an otherwise stock RS2.
This is power at the wheels, measured in second gear on the street. It will boost earlier in 3rd (and higher gears)
Note that it boosted to 1.5bar on the stock map.
There is absolutely no difference in spool until 4K.
