Hi All,

I have had the chip installed for about a week now, and all is well.

I had a previous issue with blowing a fuse after the installation, but the autoelectrian found a bare wire causing the short, so I can't blame the chip.

Anyway, performance has really improved, but what I like best is the extra torque at low revs.

I now get good acceleration from 1400rpm, where originally it would lag until about 1800 - 2000rpm before turbo would kick in and then power.

Fuel economy does not seem to be much different, but if so not a problem.

So all is well that ends well, and I am taking the car 4x4ing this weekend to test out in sand.

Sand was previously a painfull experience, always having to keep the revs up otherwise engine would bog down really quickly, so should be a good test.

I will let everyone know of the improved performance next week

Thanks
