in the site they are saying a gain of 20hp and 20tq, wtf is this for real also iam looking for the eta chips ,do i have to swap my ecu to 173 to get this chip working. thanks R3v.

I just installed a Mark D chip in my ETA yesterday, and am very pleased. I didnt get a huge boost in power, but its soo much more linear and the extra 500 rpm do wonders for the ETA. I'd be surprised if you saw a 20hp/tq gain from the Bav chip. Sounds a bit overrated.

whene u installed the chip did u used the stock ecu .???

[iwillhunt]

Yep. Same everything, just new chip and 91 octane fuel. Here's the site if you havent been there yet http://www.dsylva-tech.ca/

oh so baisically just pull the ecu and installe the chip how hard is it .

[iwillhunt]

Yeah, thats it. I have no previous experience, and i did it without any instructions in literally 15 mins. So yeah, its very straightforward. Just make sure you disconnect your batter first and you should be fine.

[bimmer_E30]

allright man cuz some people told me that chips only work with 173ecu.

[pe2one]

just look at the last 3 number of your ecu and your good to go

[bimmer_E30]
