| First off, if any sarcasm was implied on your part, I'm sorry if I'm missing it :) It is 6:40am here. But if you were serious, read on... Perhaps you've had a bad experience with Ash or his product, or know someone who has? I do not mean this in an inflammatory way (I do my very best not to argue here over senseless things). To my knowledge, Ash's chip is his own research and development. Naturally a lot of the chip functions are similar and therefore code, too. His chip does not run as ruch as a JWT, but is also safer. People with a boost controller that go into a safety boost-inducing condition are in trouble: JWT does not back off timing, its primary and secondary (knock/problem condition) maps are the same. Ash's chip actually has retarded timing and increased fuel delivery. So anyone running with the stock boost solenoids disabled (with a boost controller) will continue boosting under full timing during the problem condition; Ash's chip takes these above mentioned measures to reduce the chance of engine failure from detonation and also simultaneously lets you know to let off (from the obvious power dropoff)- one of the main reasons I have Ash's chip. Also, a top gear programming change is made on Ash's and not JWT's; as 5th gear pulls put the most load on the engine and are usually done for extended lengths of time. I believe Ash's chip increases fuel delivery (or maybe decreases timing, have to ask him). To sum up, to my knowledge, Ash did not 'copy' any JWT code. No more than JWT 'copied' Nissan's code when they researched and produced a 'better' program. Only trying to understand and spread the truth, if I've said anything wrong, feel free to correct me (anyone). I also am not attempting to spread any hate ;) Kez
