Thread: Chip It Chip.. Any good?

HI THERE SIMON I HAVE A 2002 TD5 DISCO WITCH HAS A DB CHIP WITCH MAKES A BIG DIFERENCE AS MY MATE HAS THE SAME DISCO AS MINE WITHOUT ANY CHIP AND IS A BIT OF A SLUG DON,T KNOW ABOUT OTHER CHIPS THOUGH HOPE THIS HELPS

Never heard of the chip it chip although it sounds a bit pricy to me. I think Tombie on here does one for a lot less than that and people seem to say good things about them. I had a BD 'chip' on mine when I got it - it's OK but I don't really have anything to compare it to. look around some of the threads - there's tons of opinions. I'm sure you'll be able to sound it all out in a couple of hours from others experience.

I have a 1999 td5 130 dual cab. I replaced my ecu with a chipped one from Triumph Rover Spares. Bought it out right as I wanted to keep my old ecu as a spare and it cost me just under $800.
The difference it has made is fantastic. I’m really pleased but have nothing to compare it with.

We fit PSI power boxes. They have 3 stages they can be set to, depending on the set-up of the vehicle. You can even get a booster chip to chip the chip! But the only customer we had to this ended up melting a piston, so I would stay away from that..

But I can't fault the PSI box, they are really good and fairly simple to fit.

I'm not looking for angurment from anyone ( had big e-fight with someone on over the same thing) Plug in chip V remapped ecu.

But i think the best option it to replace your ecu with a latter model flashable ecu and then have it remap by a well know tuner. Bell autos (tombie works with Pete from bas) td5 alive, td5 inside (kelvin 'disco_thrasher sells his stuff on here) etc...

I have personally run a big tombie map, Bell autos big VNT map and a Td5 inside 'super dooper mega' map for a vnt charger.

Contact Toomie from this site. I got my TD5 Defender ECU re-mapped by him, and have not looked back. That was almost 6 years ago. He (was/is) in Wyalla, so should not be too difficult to arrange. I think he is working in the mines however, so sometimes difficult to reach, but keep trying. He is a top bloke also. Have a chat to him before you do anything, if for nothing more to get the right information on what to do.

Good luck,

Ken

It's not hard. It's called research and it is a good way to spend an afternoon

Check on the "Search" function and you will find more than enough info to base your decision.

The easy way? Contact Tombie.

Be warned though. He works shifts and sometimes goes "walkabout". Just persist.
