why even bother saving the stock chip?

to prevent tearing traces removing a stock or aftermarket soldered chip...i just cut the legs with some fine wire snips. the chip part of the chip comes out then i hold the end of a leg and heat the solder and it comes right out. then desoldering is a real breeze with desolder braid. i don't have much luck using the bulb type sucker unless there is quite a bit of leg or whatever sticking out of the board...if it's real close to the board i have much better luck with the braid.

thanks everyone for the advice, i realy appreciate everyones help. i just got the whole thing set up and my 390's are no good. they made alot of noise and caused bad idle and jurky acceleration. so for now i have 240's off of some v6 acura. until i can provide myself with the cash to buy some bigger ones. i get paid friday so im hopeing to kinda smooth some of these things out...... hopefully. trust me it is not my will to run stock injectors. ok well im going to attemt to bring my ecu back to life now ill keep everyone posted thanks again.

first- if you get the ecu worked out and go run the ---- out of it on 240cc injectors they are going to be at 100% duty cycle in boost, and it will still be lean, and you will be owned by detonation.
second- i know you said they were "noisey" but did you ever consider that it wasnt running good on the 390's because of your ecu problems and/or a bad map?

ok so i peformed what seemed like brain surgery and well it kinda worked. the ecu led light blinks once when i go to start it and it starts up ok, ruff idle, now it will rev past 3 k but is very jurky/ hesitates. no more cel but light randomly blinks rapidly. im just going to go for a dif ecu maybe one that is already chipped. thanks again it was definatley a learning experiance.

i know running on 240's is very unrecomended. im just trying to get the car running. ive been reading on this forum for a while and i know what some noobs on here try to get by with and they end up paying for it later. all im doing is getting it running, makeing sure everything is operational and then introduce the boost slowly and gradually turn it up as
i feel more comfortable with my set up and tuneing on TE. but first is getting past my inexperiences with some of these
things. thanks for watching out for me thos definatley good advice.
after i get the ecu thing worked out i think i will try the 390's again your probably right it might have been the ecu i messed up causing the problems.
