Upsolute has been around since LAST year I think & there are some cars up in jozzi with this CHIP.Has any1 here had an encounter with one of these(ran against a Upsolute chipped car, OR know any1 that had there car chip tru them ??

Well , a mate of mine has a drive by cable GTi with upsolute and they claim 138-140kw from the chip only , which i find a bit on the un-believable side

Remeber this is on pump gas and chip only , so yeah - it would be nice to c how it goes compared to the other crincle cuts' out there

138 - 140kw is very believable

At the coast , running sum serious timing and boost with 98+ RON Fuel , ya - possible

So in SHORT no1 here knows what kinna power figures UPSOLUTE's chips are capable of OR whether they cause CHIP RELATED problems (e.g. pinging, over boosting etc.)!!!

Jaco I know the chip U got yield impressive results BUT like most other chips IT cost U a few rands. Reason I'm enquiring is cause UPSOLUTE's chips care priced very competitively compare to others.

As for the dispute on POWER results what kinna power claims by CHIP TUNERS are realistic & what kinna after effects can be expected??? Seems like LOTSA GUYS who had there cars chip has some or the other complaint like bad after sales service, & problems directly related to the performance of the car. This begs the question, why pay these guys (chip tuners) such a lot of money & U end up with worst problems then WHAT U had (lack of performance) ???

Hey.

The only truly objective way to choose a chip tuner is to phone them, get contact details of a client with the same car as yours that they've done, and speak to them.

The ones you need to worry about a) won't return your call, b) don't have a customer with a car like yours that they've done or c) won't give you such a customer's details, because they have something to hide.

Dyno numbers, etc all need to be taken with a truck-load of salt. They generally promise big numbers, but few have accurate dyno readings on the same dyno, under the same conditions. And dyno readings differ wildly. My car was making 160+ kw's on one dyno, and made 101 kw at the Go Power dyno. So, literally, your mileage may vary when it comes to dyno's

Nope...1.15bar boost and timing customised for 97UL. We are now and 95UL and I've had some pinging in 34 degree weather but that was only on on/off acceleration due to me playing with the actuator rod and boost overshooting All is fine now

Still need to dyno it with some Toluene
