Thats the typical going rate for a basic ECU chip

his point was 12.5 psi making roughly 218hp, a 50+ gain at the crank. that is what uni and giac are seeing at 18 psi

sounds like a jerk...
$65 for repair? Are they breaking shit before they chip it?

idk about that, where did you find that info? I have never seen that on his site.. www.eurodyne.ca I only see stage 1 for $450 and his big turbo files..

Smoke and mirrors.

My guess is they meant 22.5 psi.

BTW was it Tapp Auto or TAP. Because TAP is "Total Audi Performance" which is a completely different company.

It was Total Audi Performance stage 2 chip that is in that ecu your looking at. Not worth buying.
