I bouhgt a chip from dsmchips and im not sure im putting it in right. Has anyone installed one before? I matched the groves up and I had to bend the tads a little but after pushing it a=down there is still a little gap between the bottom of the chip and the socket. It feels like it is far as it goes but i dont know. Is it supposed to go all the way down?
 
As long as all the tabs are making a good solid connection I don't see an issue. You'll have a small gap. Here is a pic of my old chip.

Thank you. thats exactly what mine looks like installed. I fell alot better now. thanks man.
 
Hey no problem, I prefer the chip over link for now. I don't plan on changing my tuning setup untill I change my current turbo setup (and which I plan to get a mid to high 11 out of it) . Let me know how you like the chip if you don't mind :cool:
 
Make sure the notch on the chip is on the same side as the notch on the socket......

Of course we are, we own DSM's :sneaky:

I have yet to even start the car because of 1 dry rotted lower injector seals :mad:
I did a boost leak test and only got about 2-3 psi build up because of the darn seal. I'd love to be able to get it out and put a few miles on it before winter but idk.
