TME/IPD ECU reprogram versus chipping 850 1997

Your '97 ECU can't be reprogrammed by the dealers VST (scan tool) like the newer cars can. Your "performance" ECU has a different "chip" installed rather than programming so unless someone REPLACES your ECU, it won't be a problem.

The '99 on up cars are a different matter altogether, done through programming only, no "chip".

You don't have a choice on "chip tuning" vs "programming", it's not optional.
