RxxxChip Pro Issue for sharing

Several months ago I Chip my 2012 Coupe JCW with professional help, meanwhile I only replace the factory air filter to K&N air filter (no light polly, no intercooler...etc).

Couple weeks ago my car's engine light started to come out, after bringing to a different shop to check (with computer), they find out the chip has damage the air valve, the worker has able to fix the air valve and reset the Electronic ignition.

Can anyone here explain this? Is it possible to put the chip back in after some mod upgrade (bigger intercooler with charge/discharge pipe, better intake system), or just that my car isn't strong enough for the chip...

Is there other way to increase the HP, I have installed the Wagner intercooler, KW-v2 suspension, K&N air filter, JCW strut bar

Thanks for you time

Do a search on your "chip"...
You might be surprised.....
And a hint...they will sell you one for any car ever made...even one without a computer.
