Hey since you're putting on the same turbo I'm going to, will the stock CA lines all bolt up to the S14 turbo?

I hate to hi-jack this thread, but I have a friend with 3 different chips for the CA. He got them in a bundle when he purchased the burner program from another guy. Is there any way to tell what the hell these things do? The only info given on them is they increase the rev-limiter and who they're made by. Beyond that I have no idea what they change or are tuned for.

diamondstar he should be able to inset the chipinto the programer and extract a bin file, then load that file into the ecu tuning program and read the maps.
