im not up on the shape of the chips tbh but i no that well lane turbos use super chips to map or (chip) cars and they map a chip and attach it to the ecu and they charge 300 quid. how much did you pay for the chip mate? and how do you no it is mapped correctly for your car?

what car did it come from? its possible very dangerous/wouldnt work, if it came from a completely different engine and you want to plug it straight into yours.
Superchips are bullshit anyway, your moneys better spent on a standalone or somethin similar

matty has a very good point, you would be far better off taking your car to somewhere like chip wizards in rochdale and getting your ecu remapped

Looks like a keycard?
should be a thin black silicone thing bout 1cm by 2cm long with two rows of silver prong,leg things running down each side
goes inside your ecu which may require socketing to fit it
personaly id say you have wasted your DOH on a pointless mod that prays on pub figures and the un informed
they hold a generic map for x car,now that map will increase things (fuel consumption mainly)but it wont optimise any mods such as headwork,cams, filter etc as its a generic map
this map will be the same as many other cars and not specific to you
waste of cash!

you have been robbed mate. the superchip map is downloaded. the only person that chip is usefull to is the person with the ecu that was originally 'chipped'.

Doesnt matter with this type of chip as its a generic map
not a custom one like a chipwizard map

It can have different parameters put on dpending who installed the superchip
but it WONT be a map to optimise any mods on the car.
Hundreds of others could have same map
it will be a best fit map for the car
if your doing it do it right or not at all
a bad map or a map not suited to your car could cause damage

it can be mapped. run the car on the rollers, send superchips the results, then they send a corrected map. repeat till its spot on.
im not saying its the best way, my car was mapped at chipwizards, but im saying it can be done.
