Anyone with a chip (specifically a DP) had trouble with the ECU warning light coming on?
Mine came on in the middle of a 3hour highway drive and wouldn't go off until I had turned the car off and left it turned off for 10 minutes.

Comments like this make me sooooo glad I didn't go the chip route! There are those who love 'em but also a lot of people with troubles!
Sorry can't help but that's my 2c.....

I'm with you Yogi.
I am entirely supportive of reprogramming ECUs, but not sold on the idea of plug and play chips. The only way to get efficient gains is to reprogram the system to maximise everything. It then needs final dyno sessions to set all parameters.
We had the VE SS done and ended up with 358kw and 600+ NM, but that was after 2 dyno sessions and 2 hours driving with the programmer in the car running the laptop and fine tuning everything.
I understand RAPID are now selling a piggyback system that also gets before and after dyno runs that can reprogram the signals to maximise the Triton efficency.

Yeah, I'd like to get a proper reprogram, but what happens when Mitsu re-flashes the ECU? What sort of places do reprogramming, anyone know of any that operate out of WA?

how have you found the tdc in terms of power and torque increase?
How much was it?
Any warranty?

when it was working it was great, more power when needed & better economy if driven nicely, Price, I think around $500 and I'm not sure if any warranty but I got mine 4 or 5 months ago and I sent it back around a month ago due to it playing up (do a search on tdc here there is a few people with them) and there is a new one on a boat heading to my place as we speak

what sold me on the DP chip was that it connects downstream of the factory ECU - therefore all of the warnings and alarms are still functional.
Is that the case for the one you had?
How did it play up?

Guys the TDC connects after the computer so no "ERROR" codes are recorded. Not That I have had any problems so far.
As I stated in my other post I am getting 100Kw at the rear wheels verified by athe Dyno Chart running on setting No 7.
If you are haveing problems with error codes buy a Scangauge11 which detects these & also clears them.
