Mikeyallgood85 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I didn't think are ecu could be chipped hence the emanage! Else why would you get a piggyback if you could fit a programmable chip? Or am I wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Its and plug and play just unnamed, probably very similar to jam,mines, sard etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I didn't think are ecu could be chipped hence the emanage! Else why would you get a piggyback if you could fit a programmable chip? Or am I wrong!They can be chipped/daughter boarded fine, it's just there isn't a big enough demand to crack recrack the stock ecu now the big companies no longer do it.Sard blitz jam mines all did it at one point. But your right it's not so easy/impossible to get a plug and play ecu mapped for your car/modsPhil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just a thought.. seeing as these are eprom chips, can they not be read on a pc and played with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gryzor Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The map is written to a eprom which is erased with strong UV light, it's not bs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The map is written to a eprom which is erased with strong UV light, it's not bs.yeah but really really strong concentrated UV light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
