Gearhead43 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I have just received my TG160 Chip along with the 160 Tstat!!!! Post your experiences with this set up.. Is it has good as it's claimed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I dropped 7/10s in the quarter with my first TGP. That car ran a 15.7 when I got it with a leaky x-over, and I ran a 15.0 with the new x-over/TG160 setup. I switched the chip to my second TGP as the first car was beat, and I ran a 14.6 @ 95 with that car, when it was auto. It's a really nice chip and you'll be happy with it. Look at it this way, there are 2 types of performance mods. There's the "It feels a little faster", and then there's the "Holy S$@t!!" The TG160 is the later.

mfewtrail Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I'm liking the chip pretty well, I never drove the car w/ the stock chip though. W/ stock x-over, cat/muffler replacement, chip, and intake, I ran a 14.7@91.94mph on a "shitty" track with bad traction(1100ft above sea level...known to be a crappy track on "grudge/street" nights). Corrected for altitude, that would be a 14.5 or so...that same night, stock 97+ GTP's were running high 14's-low 15's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 DAMMED!!! I'm liking it already..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaCruzTGP Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 It's the best thing this car has ever had! It cured all my ill's and aches. It was stalling, my shift points are set better, idle's cured, It goes much better all around. Well worth every cent! thanks Jeff. I'm curious to what other cars jeff has and what he's doing to them.

Vegeta Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 How is it setting the shift points better on your non electronically controlled transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearhead43 Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yea this chip doesnt affect shidt points. In fact the Turbo Specific 4T60 HD should aready have firmer shift points stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 i searched and didnt really come up with anything. someone explain please what is this magical chip what does it do and how much and where ? Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaCruzTGP Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I replaced a shit load of parts all at once, one of those parts being the vacuum t on the tranny, everything was hell of alot smoother after I did that. It may not change shift points, but It seems to stay in second longer at constant speed and not upshift like it did. I'm no expert at this car by any shot, but I do drive it everyday and notice the little differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Is anyone running one of these where you need an emissions test? Does this chip screw up your numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboGTU Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Better shifting due to better engine performance??? What I heard...he does include a "fix All" booklet for known problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yea I got that Booklet.. Good stuff too... Well I'm supposed to get the GP turned TGP tomorrow!!!... Hopefully it'll have NO issues and I can bring her HOME!... Been over 2 months.... A long time for me..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
