Question - Which Diesel chip is best ?

[rainsey]

Skits,

There are pros and cons with all chips. They turn into a religious argument as to what is the best, and reality has it that there probably is not a "best" chip.

When I had my ChipIt, it was tuned by 2 jumper pins that modified the rail pressure and the boost, I think from input from the MAF.

I adjusted the jumpers the rail jumper until such time that my over pressure valve did not blow, and I adjusted the MAF jumper until the vehicle ran like crap then went back one setting. But what was I actually achieving?

Waiting for a valve to pop or the term running like crap are subjective and don't give you actual figures.

It's like a Placebo. You take a pill so you fell better. Has it really made a difference or is it just you thinking it has ( sort of Matrix like ).

Some chips modify the rail pressure, some modify the injector timing, some modify the turbo boost. Some do all 3.

Some do it by you tinkering with it yourself, whist some require professionals doing it with monitoring tools. Unfortunately the latter usually means no user intervention.

Some have plug and play harnesses and some are hard wired.

What you have to come to terms with is what you want to accept If self tuning and what risk you want to accept with its outcome. If you are a tinkerer and like to change things yourself... Go with a self install chip.

If you want something that is set and forget, and you want a definitive record of the result, go with a chip that is installed and tuned by the vendor.

Either way there are probably 4 or 5 chips on the market that have a very good reputation, have good customer service and have a proven record. Not going to tell you what to go with, as I said it is a religious argument. But just make sure you are sure in Your mind which way you want to go and what riskou are willing to accept.

Kindest regards
Rainsey
