Default Has anyone ever un-chipped there car?

Have any of you ever removed the aftermarket chip and replace it with the stock one? If so how did go? Any forseable probelms with doing this?

Thanks.

Default I did last week...cuz I bought it back to the dealership...

It should cause LESS problems because it's running a lot less boost and power.

Default Yeah, I know it should cause less engine problems, but...

I was refering to the ECU. Would reversing the chip in any way adversly affect the ECU? Also, which chip did you have, and who did it for?

One more question I promise. Do you remember what the copyright date was on your orginal chip? Mine says 1996, but my car is an 01???

Default I have a GIAC chip...got it from AWE

As long as you install the chip back correctly, it shouldn't have any problems. As for copyrights, i'm not sure. I got my chip a few months ago, the chip design might be 96', but the software's not.
