G60 Information.
Currently have an ECU with a`JABBA CHIPS`power chip fitted but have been asked to fit a `POWER CHIPS` unit with the number 022E6 on , the Jabba chip has only their telephone number shown.
Can anyone tell me if one is `better` than the other, the owner maintains the Mk1 ran badly with the Jabba unit but that could be because a hundred and one faults existed feeding bad information to the ECU or even mechanical faults contributed to the rough running. All of these issues will be addressed before engine is used but if there is a clear benefit between these two units I would like to know please.
Any informed answer will be appreciated.

Jabba have a piggy back unit that they plug into the ECU's EPROM (chip) slot. From this they can map for ignition and fuelling by altering the existing the VW maps - it is not an exact science as not all areas of the EPROM are fully understood. Once the map is sorted a new EPROM is "blown" and fitted back into the ECU.
So to be honest neither is better than the other - it really depends what maps are on them and whether you have a smaller pulley fitted - 78mm is standard, I use to run a 68mm one, some run smaller but the charger then needs much shorter service intervals and is spun faster than it should be.
I would take it to Jabba and get a rolling road mapping setup to get the best setup for your engine.

Obviously a man with money, he went out and bought this Power chips version without reference to common sense (sense really isn't that common I'm afraid!).
Again, thanks, this really is a helpful crew! Pete.

G60 power, doing it with style!
Have now learned that all modifications were made by G-Werks, supercharger is still running a standard 78mm pulley so the need for a ECU power chip seems a bit questionable. The wiring harness modifications are very, very poor, unlikely that a company such as G-Werks would have done that.
