        Do they do a NV M50 chip? I'm kind of wondering between a few different places where to go for that one.

          I'm sure they do. PM matt, he'll hook it up.

            I ran an Active chip with my obd1 m52 with m3 cams and that thing killed in my touring.

              See I have m3 cams as well but they look like this:


              I just don't think they are worth putting them into a good motor with that kind of scoring.
              What do you think? Would you throw them into a car or are they pretty trashed?

                Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for a chip for my m50 with s52 internals...so basically an s52 with a 0 261 200 413 DME.

                  Sometimes the lobes/bearing surfaces can be cleaned up with the right combo of fine abrasive products...I'm not the guy to ask about it, but you might try researching it...

                      I will research what Chase suggested and then if I can use the cams without any detrimental outcome, I will be more than happy to purchase a trm chip with s50 cam combo.
                      I look forward to seeing what happens. Thanks guys!
