Anyone here fitted either of these chips to a falco if so how did you get on with it?

I think I recall a discussion about those chips in the other Aprilia forum. The outcome was that they were copies of Arrow chips (I may be talking utter bollocks, though). :smt001

Just stop fooling yourself, get that PC3 you've always wanted :smt003

You are correct I'm sure sabestian I use the standard kit with my Remus GP cans and it works apart from a small splutter around 4k. I was just thinking of having a play with one as they seem cheap as chips but by the time you've played with fuel pressures etc it may be easier to go Power commander in the long run. :smt003

It's possible you'll get a good outcome when you play with chips. Let's say you'll try 3 until you get a decent fuelling. It'll set you back roughly 100 quid. And that's if you are lucky to have fuell pressure right etc.

On the other hand you can get 2nd hand PC3 for 100 (150 is more realistic though). Lotsa playing with maps - for free. I tried roughly 10 before I was satisfied, then I tweaked it so that it suits me even better. Well, try that with chips :)

And, when Christmas time comes - you get a custom map. Possibilities are endless! :D

Bought it, tried it, dumped it someone from the dutch aprilia forum tested the standard eprom and the p- line on the dyno the standard one performed better. I had allready bought mine so you want to trie it sent me youre adress and you can have a P-line eprom only used one day. I am waiting for my wife to give me permission to buy a pcIII. Yeah I know :smt014

Thanks for that Vincent :smt005 so I won't bother with that then.
