Hey guys,

Thoughts on the best ecu chips out there? I’ve been looking at the miller war ones but they’re fairly expensive. Found some guys called Ethos - has anyone used them?

For a super easy install it seems like a no brainer

I think a few have used Maurice's chips on here, (Speedtouch) I have a few myself but have not put them to the test yet.

Do you mean you haven’t Dyno’d them or you haven’t installed them?

Sent him a message so will see... Seems like a really good option for a few more ponies

I ran a mild chip from Maurice in my cabby for a while....never dyno'd or anything, but it felt better at lower revs ...pulled well and a bit more excitable. Only issue I had was poor idle especially when cold so took it out and went back to the stock chip which is still in the car.

I'm not saying the chip was bad but it was so lumpy at idle it began to bug me.

Hmmm may give that a miss then! Save up for the Miller WAR chip
