Frequently Asked Questions
- Q. What is the current cost
- A. The current cost is $75.00, this includes labor, parts an ST Microelectronics flashable chip, and return shipping. Please add $15.00 if you reside outside of the United States for Global Priority
- Q. What do I do if a better chip is designed by you for my car or I find that the needs of my car have changed.
- A. As the maps become fine tuned and there is a better understanding of the needs of our cars based on the modifications made I will continue to offer upgraded chips. This is only fair since to those who jumped on this venture and were willing to assist in the advancement of the chip through continuous feedback and communication. Based on this I will be more than happy to offer the upgraded map for approximately $2.00. (In the
- Q. Will this chip increase the performance of my car if I don’t have any mods done?
- A. Absolutely, The chip is designed to maximize the power of the vehicle through tweaking the Timing and Fuel maps, this has been reported to also improve gas mileage in some cases, provided you drive the vehicle the same way you did before (this may be hard at first with new found power)
- Q. What sort of gains should I expect?
- A. Until Dynos have been done on a variety of cars it would be hard for me to provide statistical data in reference to this. I do know you will definitely feel the gains much more so than when you add a SR, CAI, or exhaust. Then when you do begin to modify your car know that this chip is better designed for the purpose of taking advantage of these items than a stock chip.
- Q. Can I purchase an ECU that has already been chipped
- A. Absolutely but you would need to let me know ahead of time and there may be a delay depending on the amount of time it takes me to acquire an ECU. The cost may also vary slightly depending on the cost of the ECU but I would let you know in advance.
- Q. If I purchase another ECU does it have to be the same as the one in my car.
- A. Nope the primary concerns are that if you have TCS the ECU that you send should come out of a vehicle that has (had) TCS, secondly if you have an Auto tranny your ECU would need to be an Auto ECU. In my current setup I am running a JDM Type II engine with a Type I tranny and feel gains that exceed the Stock Type II ECU.
- Q. Is there any additional risk to using the Telion Chip?
A. Every chip I put out is first tested within one of my Legends prior to its release and in the areas near wide open throttle I am not exceeding the parameters used within the Bayou Chip, the advantage of this chip over the Bayou is that I have made some additional adjustments to the maps to take advantage of power where the Bayou does not such as in the RPM scalers and a few areas within different
