Re-fitting the original chip is just a simple change over and away you go, I have always noticed a huge flat spot the first time you take the car out at about 2500 revs then all is ok.
Does the speedo tend to jump about at all, this is usually the cables from the diff need replacing.
If not you have to take the cluster out and the SI board is at the bottom.

I've got same problem with mine, just haven't got round to it. If you pull the wires you should in feel 1 or both "stretch". Try and renew as much as possible.
Remember not to touch the legs of the chip either as this can shag it.
All the best mate.
