    Chromed Tuning in the UK

    Does anybody know of a tuning shop in the UK that has experience of using Chrome?

    Chrome ECU's usually are mapped by DIY'er rather than through a tuning shop, and very few in the UK touch it.

    It comes with the base map (from a US MK2 car) pre-loaded, you may just need to disable a few flags due to differences with the o2 sensors for Japanese spec or UK spec, and it pretty much runs like standard leaving you freedom to tweak it when you add mods to the engine.

    The guides can be found in: http://chromedecu.org/

    I found a company that specialises in Mitsu tuning but like you say, doesn't touch Chrome.
    Problem is my intake system is too modified for the MAF to cope. I'll have to get a MaftPro to convert it to speed density before I can use the other features of Chrome. I wrongly presumed I'd be able to tune it out just using Chrome but the you go, another £650 and I'll get it to run right ;-)
    At least it is running okay for the moment with the MAF disconnected on the limp home table.

    Just get a GM Z06 MAF and a MAF translator, it's very proven that will hold well past 600awp. I've been on that setup for years.

    I have a maft-pro that I'd sell for cheaper, but I believe that's not the needed fix. If chrome can run a single turbo 3.7l, it'll run his setup. He just needs help with what tables need what.

    Air filter is the side pod, maf just inside the rear engine bay. Pipes to the turbos are longer than standard. From the turbo to the roof mounted intercooler, left side has to run across the rear of the engine bay and up. It off the intercooler, forward to the intake.

    Too late I'm afraid, I already paid the money, have a hillclimb sprint event in 2 weeks!
