Hello there
Ordered a Racechip One recently and it was relatively simple to get it installed. The car was instantly more responsive and eager.
Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-jet Manual 150bhp
Racechip dial setting: 6 & 1
However after a few days, acceleration at lower gears caused turbo flutter and hard acceleration at 3rd or 4th gear onwards, boost hit higher than 150kpa causing boost gauge to beep(boost warning set at 150kpa), as well as a shrieking / sucking sound from air intake (followed by loss of power). Same thing happened when stepping on accelerator to overtake while cruising on 5th or 6th gear.
I removed the chip and the symptoms were still the same, and only went back to normal after I disconnected the battery for half a day to reset the ECU.
Wrote to Racehip and was advised to adjust dial settings to 1 & 1, which worked for a few days. All seems well, but may need a few days to be sure?
Wondering if anyone experienced the same issue?
