I'm interested to know how DT went at the tuners.

Darren,

Why do you say the DPchip is a $1300 potentiometer as I would have thought that it would be more than just a ramp up of what comes out of the factory ECU or is this actually the case

Now to me any of the engine tuning chips on the market are just the same thing. As DT said, they do it in a different manner, but essentially they are just a "potentiometer" that increases a given signal by X amount to give better performance.

Before you ask, NO I haven't researched the subject like DT certainly has, but I'm curious and like to get others opinions and why they think that way

Thats how the others get to sell a cheap item as a dearer pre ecu dtronic, because most people dont know the difference.
