Do you have biege injectors?

AFAIK you need beige injectors to run a 195 superchip, plus you should be running higher boost.

Stoned... I think your jumping ahead there.


fsrt195...... yes the car will need to be set-up when the chip gets fitted.

Ooops :)

Well, I just checked the FT.com tuning guide and that info would appear to be correct

A 'stage 2' or '195' chip raises the boost limit to 16psi and also makes adjustments to the timing and fueling to cope with the higher boost. In order to supply enough fuel for this, 701 or 'beige' injectors are required. These have a higher flow rate than the standard blue injectors and the map on the 195 chip is programmed for these.

The car should run absolutely fine if the chip is:

A) The correct tag code.
B) Fitted correctly.
c) Matched to any components it is mapped for. (injectors, cams etc etc)

The setup is only required tio set some base fuel parameters and ensure top end high power fuelling is correct.

Best Regards,
Stu
