It's been a while since anyone has posted info on how their TurboChip upgrade is performing.
A couple of members including myself are considering this upgrade but it's gone a little quiet even TC not making his usual appearances??

References and questions are being asked elsewhere on this forum regarding the Turbo chip,
King-Chipper-Sawdust recently asked
'has anyone had any serious problems with this upgrade and how come if it is so good why don't LR fit as standard?'
It received no response but that was posted in the Dealership Feedback heading hence fresh thread started here.

Thanks to m@verick for your previous response.

I wonder if Tc would offer a further discount for the ecu upgrade and the filter at the same time?

I telephoned Tubo Chip about quarter past five this evening and no answer??
When I last telephoend them a month or so ago before I bought my Sport they said offers to forum members were available during October. but there's been no or hardly any sign of TC here recently? strange as they were here almost daily and this month was promo month? tdv6se owner since end of sept 05

Didn't he say he was going away on an overseas trip installing chips?

Have a look at my posting under "General".....had the job done with amazing results!

Apologies but the forum has taken a back seat for me in recently....no I havent disappeared...just been busy on other projects....if members wish to contact me then simply PM and it comes straight to my email...I'll respond asap

Tina, I'll happily 'throw' in a filter with an upgrade at the same time

TC, hello there.
As October has almost gone is there any chance of extending the offer through November?, I was reading these posts waiting for info before placing the order you see.
And throw in a filter, thanks that'd be great or is that just Tina? tdv6se owner since end of sept 05

We'll happily 'throw in' a filter for all forum members until the end of December 2005 if they place an order for a chip before then

is the group buy still on i am really interested in an air filter if it is

TC,

What benefits does a replacement filter bring??

Replacement air filters usually increase airflow over the OEM product and therefore lead to the engine "breathing" more deeply. This in turn leads to small increases in power and torque output. There's probably more to it - but I think that's it in a nutshell. You can also normally reuse replacement filters too - which makes them a better long term investment.

There is definately a slight increase in bhp with a 'performance' air filter but I personally think the greatest advantage is that they keep optimum air flow even when 'dirty' unlike a standard paper one that clogs up and causes a reduction in power output Chips with everything

I'm still waiting on your U.S. spec RRS S/C and RR S/C upgrades to be ready - I have 3 cars for you guys to chip. Step it up!

Here are some "real" air filter test results, including K&N: http://home.usadatanet.net/%7Ejbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm Fans of placebo marketing shouldn't read this.

Personally, if I didn't see much dirt/dust... I might use K&N air filters just from the "recycle" point of view. Other than that, paper is it for me. I've used K&N filters on street cars without any issue. On RRS/D3, I won't be using them.
