740 chip upgrade: more news

See message below from the nice Dutch fellow at BSR:

Hello Josh!

It's nice to know that my information about upgrading is apreciated.

It's not often i get questions about tuning fronm the USA, so it's very

interesting for me too!

Okey. Here are some details about the point of upgrading.

The the chip builds on incresing the turbopressure. But it's not enough just

to do that, so we have to upgrade the program in the ECU, so that the

ignition and injection timing matches the higher turbopressure to avoid

engine damage. And by doing this, we also optimize the conbustion so that

the fuel consumption reduces. This results in lower emission outlet.

So, you get more power, lower fuel consumtion and cleaner conbustion.

You'll have to excuse my english, its a bit rusty, so i'm not sure that all

my words are correct, but i hope you understand.

Hope the information about the chip function, was understandable.

I have some informationsheets on chipupgrade to Volvo,VW, Audi and Saab

cars, so if you are interested i can translate them to english and send them

to you on mail.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Have a nice day!

STS Tuning, Jahn.

I'll forward the translation of tech. specs. once he send that too. This sounds very promising. PS - I have specifically asked him how this chip deals with pre-detonation. Sounds promising?
