Just to get my head around this as I'm new to this side of playing with cars, I remove my factory chip and replace with one of these nvram, will I need a tune straight away or will it be the same tune as standard. I just spent alot of money repairing my laptop thinking I can use tunerpro without any modification but turns out I was wrong and that is for the na motor. I can't get my car tuned untill next year now and I want to be able to change fans on temp and gear change settings as I have a bigger throttle body to go on. Any advice is very much appreciated cheers Lucas

Simple answers to all your questions is, yes.

The file loaded is standard (the1's enhanced code), you would tune this to suit your combination.

Hi Lucas, I have just put one of these in my VS acclaim. I am running an L67 through a Getrag 5 speed. I couldn't be happier. This board is plug and play. Install Tunerpro RT 5, the OSE plug in and get an ALDL cable and you're away. I made a couple of missteps while learning but they are avoidable. I have a programmer now which is great because it can read what's on the chip and gives you an ASCII version through its own software. If you want total control this is the setup for you.

Thanks biggvl, so I do need to tune it straight away or would the advanced one loaded on the nvram work as normal or does the enhanced feature make that not possible? GmanVS thanks for your advice what is the OSE plugin that I'll need or does that come with tunerpro? I'm still getting my head around adx files and bins haha

Have a look at the hardware and software guide in the faq area (see link near the top right of the screen) that should explain the hardware options and provide links to the software. Ose plugin is a tunerpro plugin for this setup.

Thanks antus just trying to figure this all out, cheers

Yeah mate, just plug it in and the car will drive the same as before, therefore no need to tune straight away.

Thanks vs ss for your time mate, thanks to everyone for their advice I really appreciate it

Hi again, I just found out that I will need an eprom burner to compete the process. So I have an aldl cable on the way and I need to buy a nvram from here but the I need to burn the nvram program on to the memcal that came out of my computer? Is this correct as I must have not read this properly and thought the nvram replaces the memcal, sorry for asking questions that might seem dumb, cheers Lucas
