I wanna get some cheaper mods I.e. Ecu chip

I have seen chips on eBay for around.d 40 quid has anyone tried these?

My old golf had been superchipped and that was around 300 quid I don't really wanna be paying that id rather buy cams for that lol

So does anyone know any reasonable chips and good prices

Hi mate,

To be fair I was slightly sceptical about cheaper eBay chips a well but decided to try one that was for sale for £35. It's from a guy in Northern Ireland who specialises in e30's. My car just wasn't running right, loads of flat spots up through the rev range and this chip has sorted it all. I'm very happy and extremely surprised at the improvement the chip has made. Much quicker throttle response, more torque and power and generally a lot smoother to drive. The guys company is Word of Mouth Motorsport and his eBay name is dmcl-325i

I'd recommend this chip to anyone and value for money it's fantastic.

ant formerly of atec has done more work on these cars in terms of chips than anybody one of his recent ones is what you want.

Yeah that's the one I'm looking at, was it easy to fit?

I am talking to.someone on here who makes chips

very easy to fit just open the ecu and replace the chip with the new one.

Sweet sounds easy lol where's the ecu then? Lol

under the steering wheel behind the rubbish cover that runs down to the pedals remove the plastic screws and it will come away. i have an old atec chip here for a 88 325 manukla if you are interested,

i am looking at one from another memebr on here

Hi mate do you still have your old atec chip and will it run ok with a tech one set up?

the one i have is for an 88 car its not for an early high compression engine i am afraid.

I didn't think so mate, the history I have with the car says it's chipped, any idea how I'd know? it runs rich so I think its just a really pants chip if any?

you can look in the ecu the original chip has a sticker with printed numbers on it something like 1 267 356 288 if thats not there then its probably a replacement chip. Also do the tabs on the ecu which have to be bent up to get it open look tampered with or not if so somebodys probably been in there to change the chip.

I currently have a sale on, and can supply chips for £30 posted, including ones for the earlier 325i.

This is exactly what you shouldn't do! This is a faulty car that has just been bodged by introducing new faults* that happen to counteract existing faults. Before fitting any 'chip' you need to ensure that the engine is running as well as it did when it left the factory.
