    Basically the Dom 3 issues over the last 18 months has brought them to their knees.

    A mixture of possibly a great product with bad management, over expectation from the customer base and too many promises and too little delivery from The vendor.

    Typical Australian small business.

    They are Just like a dp chip or steinbauer, if I just made a order to find they went under between payment and receiving the goods I'd be getting a refund and going elsewhere that can honour there warranty

    Can't say I've seen them advertise anywhere either.

    The original Chipit products were supposedly brilliant. The latest offering was to consolidate 3 products into one.

    Conceptually the new product was auwsome. Functionally it was released before it was mature. Suffered a lot of issues and the guys in Perth, being engineers, were bad marketeers.

    A sad day for Aussie innovation.

    Well this is not quite correct. The ChipIt product was potentially superior to the DP and the Steinbaur in that it did both rail and turbo boost management.

    It was / is more in line with the Unichip product. Potentially better.

    It will be on the cards I reckon that they will be next. They've had it too good for too long IMHO. Over priced chips, no wonder Chipit folded.

    That is a real shame for them, as they seemed to be giving it a good go.....

    Be nice for someone else to pick up the pieces and tweak a few things, to get things functioning properly....

    Let's hope it happens
