    Hi
    Being an early TD5 chiping is more difficult than the newies.
    It involves de-soldering the chip and soldering a newie in.Toombie can do this but recommends you supply a spare ECU to be converted,the original is kept as a spare.The newer ones are "Flashable",ie a simple laptop upgrade.
    Exhaust,remove the center muffler,fit a straight thru pipe.
    If you get the intercooler upgraded you can go for the more extreme chipping

    Just beware that the auto gearbox was not designed for big power or torque increases. If you chip your TD5, don't be surprised that you'll see transmission problems down the track.
