No need for a chip, you can reset your ECU if you'd like, but its not manditory.

this is what i recommend to reset the ECU.
1) start the car without pressing the gas and run for 5 minutes or until it idles. 2) turn off the car 3) disconnect the negative terminal of the battery 4) wait about 5-10 minutes 5) reconnect the negative side of the battery 6) restart the car without pressing the gas and let it idle. i recommend that you reset your ECU each time you get a performance mod, especially if it regards to Air, Fuel, and spark. resetting the ECU will allow for compensation with the upgrade. it is NOT NECESSARY, but i do recommend. |
