I have just received my TG160 Chip along with the 160 Tstat!!!! :twisted:
Post your experiences with this set up.. Is it has good as it's claimed to be?
Pop it in and see... 8)
I like it.
I have had very good experiences with it. I gained 3mph in trap speed in my STE with the chip & t-stat, and I already had the K&N, plugs, etc... Only gained 3 tenths, but thats with a 1.5 tenths worse 60', so its like gaining a half second basically. Not a bad gain. My gas mileage went up, and my STE wouldn't idle at all without my foot on the gas before the chip, runs and idles like a new car with the chip, no more holding my foot on the gas, it doesn't stall when I stop at lights/stop signs. It made a HUGE difference especially in my STE. I have found however, in both cars, that it does take a week or so for the chip to fully "learn" the car, so the car will keep getting faster, or at least thats what it seemed like to me with both cars, for the first week or so. The difference in how fast the turbo spools is definately noticable. I had a boost controller on my STE with the stock chip so it would spool quicker, but I took the boost controller off when I put the chip in and it would spool quicker than it did with my boost controller on there.
I definately like the chip. It was worth the $300...both times. If it wasn't a big difference, I wouldn't have two of them.
