i chiped my car(VR6 2003 6speed) last year near the end of the summer.
i parked it for the winter and last week i went to the dealer
cuz my couldn t go faster then 20km, they told me my the chip
that have been installed in the burned my computer.

i changed the ECU(1500$) but i would like to chip it again with a
warranty that it will not do the same thing.

did that happen to any of u and what did u do?
 
no theres is no warrenty on this car and the guy thats work there is a friend.
this is y i took it to the dealer

2003 with no warranty gotta be kidding me !?!?

to much mods on it perhaps.
if the car was VGA there is no warranty.


to answer the question, you have 2 good options:

go to trac racing and get a GIAC chip
or
go to L-Sport and get an Upsolute chip.

if you wonder where they are, look in my tuner list in my signature.
 
A chip does not burn an ECU, sorry. If the chip was not installed properly or was the wrong box#, the car would not start and run. There was a problem somewhere in either the ECU or elswhere in the car and your friend was told what the mecanic told him...which sounds a lot like BS!
 
well the dealer guy told me that its burned they changed the ECU and the car run normaly. Put still they didn t told me other then that. How it did happen they said the chip burned your ECU and thats it.I'm not a mecanic and theres no intension to make RMR look bad in any way. I didn t say u did it and i didn t say anything bad about RMR. They only thing is thats most pps that install CHIP don t give warranty and its ok thats how they work. AND Chris@RMR i didn t take my car form the dealer yet and i will tell them to recheck again if u thing theres maybe a prob in electronic. THX to give me lil hope its not the chip cuz with out it it dosn t go that fast. :)

and for the 1500 its 1700$ the price at the dealer and i didn t pay that i got it for the 1/3 of the price.
