The sanford/lake mary location already tried on my jcw .The software that superchips uses will not connect to the mini ecu,showed error fail to connect.

The uk superchips tune is for a non maf car.

I wouldn't. Generic tuners are bad news. Hell, I'm really not even into the ones that are custom tuned for a person's car specifically.

really?

my friend has had very good results on his Golf GTi

if I could tune it myself I would.. I tune my other cars myself...

it was more out of desperation really

superchips is the only local vendor

my only other alternative is to pack up the ecu and ship it off somewhere and then ship it back and hope it works..

I had an Audi A3 chipped for a couple of years (it had a Wetterauer). I never had one issue with it, other than lots of power!
