Just got mine in the mail, and I've done a few searches and there is a lot out there about pro's and cons, but I can't find anything about installation. I have the directions that come w/ the chip, but not sure if you really have to pull the ECU etc... to do the install. I want to do it right. Just looking to get steered in the right direction.

U gotta pull the ECU all right; otherwise u might end up having serious chip malfunctions. It's impossible to thouroghly clean the connectors unless u remove the ECU cover. If ya wanna further details - pls see my thread "ECU removal" and what ppl posted there. MY CAR

There is a switch that looks like it plugs into the switch and is for the dash...not sure what that is all about. And there is this ribbon sticker attached to the chip is that supposed to come out....dang...(laughing) Wijn 1998 tour Zetec B&G springs cut 1" 17" Amp "tech-9" rims Pro tint 2 1/4" exhaust Autometer tach & Euro Guages CTA/weapon R combo intake Zex Dry Nitrous kit
