I bought a chip off armbrusb on this forum......

Unsoldered the origional.. got a cradle.. soldered it in... slotted new chip in..... once the computer got used to it BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

pulls higher up the rev range....

boosts sooner

better on the petrol

sounds nicer

etc etc

My estimate pushing about 20+kw with it!!

a couple of hrs work (and alot of sware words)

and a $50 chip

i heard he has more :D

best $50 ever spent!!!!!!!!!!!!

it could feel better but who knows how the car is running.

i would put it on a dyno to be 100% worth the $60 or so dollars

what area are u from i'm from parramatta just waiting on armbush to reply

hmm I got the chip in and went for a test run after ecu reset

problem seems to be over about 5psi and/or 3000rpm it splutters like a b*tch and wont get going couldnt really get past 3Krpm dam

pls tell me the ecu takes a while to get used to it or something mr ed32 what are your thoughts??

well shes a bit messy on boost to say the least dunno what the deal is, went for two drives and seems the same.....backfiring and spluttering basically crappy over 2500/3000rpm

maybe the ecu reset didnt work, i unplugged the battery while doing the ecu and pushed brake pedal in for a minute or so

need some ideas mr ed32!?! or armbrusb?!? u had stock turbo right mr ed32 yah?

maybe wait till mine works hey flukey.....

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
