Message	Hi I recently acquired a 1990 TT, and was checking things out, and found I had a Superchips chip in my ECU. My Z also has a K&N, and a manual boost controller, with modded exhaust. I talked with some guys at the ECZA meet, and the conclusion we came to was that I should set my manual boost controller to around 12 pounds, and leave the chip in. When I got the car, it was boosting around 17 pounds. The engine is in good shape, as far as I can tell, so I don't want to blow it up. I've checked the tech on Superchips, and basically have found that Superchips just removes the rev limiter. This allows for increased boost. My main question is how? Sorry if this is dumb, but I would appreciate any help or advice. Thanks. Nate

Wait till you get some bad gas - down5hift 14:51:30 05/13/03 *really hot (n/m) - Snoguitar 14:52:28 05/13/03 when its colder the air is denser, - down5hift 15:07:12 05/13/03 cars always seem to run worse/detonate more when its hot out - Snoguitar 15:17:14 05/13/03 Colder air allows for higher boost - hench bigger ICs. (n/m) - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:23:28 05/13/03 Boost is not a function on of the ECU - the ECU just control - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:01:30 05/13/03 removing rev limiter does not allow more boost.
