hi all I have modified my stock file, and now I'm trying to write it, the problem I have is that when I opened my ECU to find the memory version, I found I have a Superchips chip, (it was mapped for stage 2 by the previous owner)

is there any way I can get around this?

thanks in advance.

Leave the chip - probably better than your first try Cheesy


Other way is to replace that chip with the stock factory ic.

If you post car, engine, year, someone can probably tell you the correct chip to order

I don't doubt it's better, sadly no longer supports my engine mods lol

ok so the car is a VW t4 with a loom, ECU engine from 2000 VW golf gti 1.8t 20v
750 cc injectors, fully forged, gt2860rs and all supporting mods.

Understood. Not knowing your level of knowledge in engine application.
But assuming zero, according your question.

My advice then would be not to make such a big change for first attempt.
Chance of killing engine is big in my opinion by that way.

Get an experienced tuner to help you. Lots of them here.
Or start with Stage1 Software Mods only for that engine with ME7.5.


Chip should be AM29F800B or AM29F800T. Don't know for sure. Guess is B.

the easiest way would be to acquire another ecu. clone the eeprom from the original ecu or just immo off. then flash the software version of choice to the new ecu and tune at will.

thanks again.

Very good suggestion. I was afraid the author is not capable of doing so but some experience with that stuff is there.


Good Luck with your project

If it isn't on a riser just overwrite it with bootmode. No clue why the others above didn't suggest it.

thanks, chap, of course, I still have a huge amount to learn on this,
I have done some mods to the ECU file, my problem is, I have nobody to check to see if I have done them correctly so far.
