any help is much appreciated guys :)

No such thing as a mugen chip. It's a cheap copy piece of crap. Avoid it.

Its usually just a 20 cent resistor that tricks the engine to think its cold and there fore dumping more fuel in.

I thought Mugen made a chip to modify the OEM JDM B16A ECU? Removed rev limiter and such?

Or maybe was it just a replacement ECU that I'm thinking of?


Because my JDM B16A rev'd out to 8500 the other day and the ECU has no brand markings on it so I was wondering if it was chipped.
