for 70 bucks you can get a chip burner and do that ---- yourself

Quit being a cheap ass...you spent how much on your turbo setup and now you want to cheap out on the most important part...

Oh well...it's not like you are different than anyone else around here :P

My moto is "You will not learn unless you try."

Someone may be able to "hook you up" but that is going to be a base tune. You are going to have to tailor that bad boy to your driving habits, the engine and many other factors to get the full potential out of your motor.

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

I really cant emphasise enough how important proper fuel managment is to any engine, turbo or otherwise. With this in mind i really think you should push the boat out just a little and get a burner as getting a good tune made for you by someone who hasnt even seen your engine or setup is a ---- idea and you wont realise how bad an idea this is until you go ahead and do it

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

im not "cheaping out" on the most important part of my turbo setup if i was i would go with the hack but im going with TE so dont say im cheaping out im just trying to find a better price then 70 bucks because i know all the people who have done this before can do it in a matter of 30 minutes or less from what i hear, i just dont have enough nerve to try it myself. somebody please help me out and get me a better price then 70 bucks. thnx -mike

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

the point i'm trying to get across is not that you are a cheap ass but that it is a better idea to figure that ---- out and DIY rather than have someone try and do it for you, do some research have a play with te, you will soon get the hang of it the new version of TE has a auto boost table creation on it which is pretty ------- good

if any body blows your motor; it should be you 8)

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

ok i started this thread and was in no way rude so i dont know why anybody else has to throw in there comments so basically unless somebody is able to help me out then dont post...i dont go on other peoples threads and post unhelpful crap. thnx for the cooperation and please somebody help me out. thnx -mike

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

i think what i have had to say is pretty ------- helpful and if you dont like the way people are you can quite happily ---- off elsewhere, i have neither been rude or unhelpful, if you are able to read then look at what i said and take note, bulldog hit the nail on the head, by getting someone else to make you a chip you are more than likely going to blow yer motor as everybody needs there chip tuned for there motor/atmospheric pressure/weather etc. There is a lot more to it than you appear to realise which is the reason i am pushing for you to get a chip burner, it is far cheaper than a new motor, then, if you want you can chip ya mates cars to recover some of the extra costs you outlayed on buying the burner in the first place

;D

surfer i dont know why your so pissed. if you haven't saod anything rude or unhelpful then i my post wasn't regarding you so calm down and breath. peace -mike

all i wanted was something cheaper then 70 bucks for about 20 bucks in parts and 30 minutes of labor (i dont know anybody that makes 100 bucks and hour) but since there is such a large amount of negative attitude coming from my thread of just asking an easy and cheap way for my ecu to be chipped, i have decided to just wait until i see somebody who is a little less negative. for those who are able to still do me the favor just PM me. sorry to those whom i may have pissed off

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

Im sort of in the same situation as you and I have a few related questions. If I have someone make a basic tune for my car knowing exactaly what set up I have:

1: Will it be reliable enough to use a daily driver for a little bit until I can get it tuned properly?

2: If someone has burned the tune and chipped my ECU, how is the tune edited from there? People always talk about going out and street tuning but that dosnt mean going out and buring 5 or 6 chips until they get a tune they like does it?

Sorry if these questions are a little ignorant and yes I did search, this was the most related post I could find in the first little bit.

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

yes, retuning is generally reburning chips, which is why eeproms are handy, and so are emulators and rtp boards.
street tuning with a wideband and datalogging can help cut down time spent.

take a look at the top of the forsale section, STREET_KINGS.

Re:TE chipping and tuning
 

Thats what I plan on doing. It seems like a hell of a deal to get at least something that will work temporarily. What I was sort of curious about though is how reliable a basic tune like that would be? As long as its safly driveable as long as I don't rape on it too much that Ill be doing that as soon as I can scrounge up a backup ECU.
