Hello!
Having read several posts where people have been severely criticized for modifying their own ECUs, I'm completely confused! 1. Has anyone ever emerged as an all-knowing expert in this field? 2. Which tuner can provide you with a truly "aggressive" chip? For example, I have a Jubi G3 (AFN) engine. Originally, I had a standard Tuneline chip, which boosts the pressure to around 1.2 bar, but it already produces a significant amount of smoke at full load!
Okay, so I've adjusted the injection timing to be "earlier" and increased the nominal pressure to 1.4 bar, with a boost limit of 1.6 bar! And which tuner would do that, even if you're waving a second turbocharger in their face and assuring them that you don't care about the materials? No one, because there's no way for the tuner to guarantee the safety and reliability of the modifications!
Here's the translation:
"That's all there is to say about it; this thing accelerates like a bat out of hell. The six-cylinder models have just as little chance at a standstill as they do on the track; the only difference is that the top speed is slightly higher (meaning that beyond 200 km/h, it appears larger in the rearview mirror).

"
Regarding durability, I can only say that I have had ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS since 17,000 km! However, I certainly wouldn't consider myself an "aggressive" driver!
And the statement that all eBay chips are terrible simply isn't true, because I know people who copy data from good tuners and thus reproduce them! There will certainly be a few bad apples who use eBay to test their own modified files on other people's cars, but that's definitely not the norm!
I also absolutely want to add that tuners can also mess things up! I once had a file where the lambda (LD) limit wasn't set correctly, but the nominal pressure was already high. I don't need to explain the consequences of that! I've even replaced chips in engine control units (ECUs) that were programmed by well-known tuners because the customers simply weren't satisfied.
And honestly, what good is the engine warranty from the tuner if they don't increase the power significantly with the injection, but instead crank it up so high that it produces a lot of black smoke? Yes, it might be engine-friendly, but what about the environment? And what do the authorities say about it?
I can also accelerate quickly even when the police are behind me, without turning on the headlights or windshield wipers!
Sorry, but I had to get that off my chest!
GREETINGS TO EVERYONE!!
