I asked about this a couple weeks back and the consensus was that it's bogus..."Mugen/Spoon Turbo Chip!" is what the ad said, heh (they have nothing to do with turbos)...it also said "more aggressive fuel and ignition curves" which I take as advanced ignition timing, which is bad!

every car is different and u cannot use ANY chip off the market..........u need your car tuned properly and then get a chip burned if u are using hondata. stock ecus cannot read boost.......hence u cannot use chips for turbo.

spend the money and get hondata or any other standalone.

contact Rocket for hondata pricing.

Hey I bought a turbo chip from this guy. It came very fast. This is the setup we put the chip in my boys cars its a 92 civic built b16 8.5 :1,full type r head , t3/t4 custom turbo setup, 310 inj,walbro intank 255, missing link.AFC.AVCR
Originally he had a mugen chip in his ecu and the car ran like **** naturally. Witht he other chip we used the FMU also, after installing this turbo chip the car ran 100x better. No its not a drop in solution, for for $45 dollars his car runs much better and we got rid of the fmu. Now he needs to tune it out on the dyno, but we got a cracked downpipe so thats gotta get remeded first

thank you,thats what i was looking for,some real info from someone who actaully used it,i think that for the $23 that i paid,its worth it if it justs ups my rev limit,and hey,if its for a turbo to run 8 psi thats cool too,cant be any worse than my stock ecu,i know its not hondata,but its alot cheaper,plus i have a vafc and boost timing retard.
