RE: ECU Core replacement

[Patrick Sherman <psherman@bigfoot.com>]

Call around to your local MotorSport shop. They can most likely recommened 
a place that will solder in a Jacket, so you can switch from your stock to 
your performance chip. So you drive to the place, it costs usually $45 
about 1/2 hour. They solder in the jacket reinsert your stock chip and off 
you go meantime Garrett's chip is cruising the states in search of your 
mail box. You open your mail you take out your stock chip and put his in. 
You send your email to the list about how impressed you are, you have drove 
it for like 15 minutes, but it's raining so you can't open it up and really 
TEST it out. Then you send your final that's to Garrett and you are happy.
