ok, i buaght a car recently, a 1993 gsx eclipse, had a bunch of mods, but the kid i baught it off of blew it up and did not seem to know much about the car. at the moment i am in the middle of swaping a 6 bolt in and fixing all of the odds and ends that arent right on the car. the one thing i was worried about was that it had 550's and a 2gmaf and no s-afc of fpr, so i baught a fpr and a s-afc but i was going to send the computer to dsmchips to get chipped for the injectors and a few other things, but i took the ecu out and found that it had " tmo stage 2" written on the outside of the casing. so i opened it up and on the epom its self it has a sticker saying "80/60/55 knock, 550cc hacked" what does this mean and i have a customer # of "619427979" if anyone could help it would be greatly appriated, i know tmo is out of buisness but maybe someone knows what this means, thanks guys!!
 
TMO chips were never labeled that way. Sounds more like a TMO stage 2 chip that Jeff modified for someone.

The 80/60/55 usually means something like 8000 rev limit, 6000 RPM clutch cut, 5500 RPM stutterbox, with the boost gauge displaying knock sum, corrections for some brand of 550cc injectors and a hacked MAF. Unless it says 2G I'd assume a hacked 1G MAF.

Second hand custom EPROMs are kind of like used underware, it might have been a good fit for the original owner but you never know what's in them.

Listen to Steve, he knows what he is talking about.

And next time remember, spellcheck is your friend. Use it.
