For those people who bought a car and want to find out if its chipped. You can at least find if you have an APR chip. I found this on APR's site.

APR has taken your cruise control buttons and utilized them for this function. Your cruise control will continue to function as normal, but will give you the ability to scroll through the programs you have purchased on your APR chipped ECU. The procedure is simple and involves only two steps.

Step 1: Press and hold the "set" button on your cruise control. After approximately five seconds, the "check engine" light on your dash will begin to blink once per second. This will tell you that you are activating program one. This blinking sequence will continue for approximately five seconds.

After this five second interval, the "check engine" light will begin blinking twice per second. This will indicate that you have activated the second program. This process is continued to access any remaining programs you may have purchased. (three blinks = program three, four blinks = program four).

Step 2: Once you have activated the desired program, simply release the "set" button. The "check engine" light will go off, and you will be locked in that program until you change it.

 

Otherwise you can get a boost gauge. The different psi's are in the faq. Chipped 225 is around 21psi.

 

I dont' think all APR chips do this. I have an APR chip and it does not work.

 

Probably only works if you have more than one program.

 

^Yes^. And also, if you have the lock-out program you can press the cruise all day with no change.

 

butt dyno is probably the best way to find out.

 

are the chips still expensive?

 

^still ~500

 

as long as the demand is there, the price will stay the same.

If you're looking to save money, wait until show season. Usually can pick up discounts on show weekends, even if you're not able to attend the show.

 

Yea, last year Unitronic was charging like $100 less (Waterfest?)! There are some positives to a crappy economy (look at gas prices)
