Post by: ///Motorsport on July 11, 2006, 05:00:57 PM

okay so i need an ebay chip, does this seem legit like the one the 'sapporo'(forget the actual name) guy was selling?  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-91-BMW-E30-318i-is-Performance-Racing-Chip_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33597QQihZ015QQitemZ250005414418QQrdZ1

i couldnt find the seller who has sold them to other guys on this site... anyone have his contact info?

okay the chip comes today ( i think) but i wont be able to drive it for some time,  my suspension should be finished by today, as well as my lower oil pan removal (having trouble getting it off, seems suctioned tight) and my intake manifold is off as i try and get at some super dead hoses.   anyways i got emailed instructions for an AC Schnitzer chip, so i guess thats what i am getting a copy of...

actually i have no idea what kind of copy it is, i didnt think ACS made too many chips, thought it would have been a DINAN.  its all a little sketch i know, but i am pretty sure its  acopy of SOMETHING, whihc im okay with... its not like some guy is making up his own maps and selling them for 40 bucks..... even if its a copy im happy..

I got one of the ebay clones too, seems to work, power feels more consistent and maybe a little more pull...

yeah, i dont see how a replica DINAN will work less effectively than the real thing, same for other companies....

Leave some feedback on the chip after you get it installed, if it makes any kind of difference over stock I might get one as well.

it could also be a replica conforti chip, all the chips do the same thing, i think one person came out with it and just got ripped off by alot of other companies, i mean heck i even have a dim copier....
