Default Gold ekz

Has anyone got one at a sensible price.
With my mbc I hit the fuel cut off so wound it back a bit, but I'm feeling a chipped ekz would be a better option.

Cheers.

I'd open yours first to check if it is chippable. It's not just the gold ones that are.

Ah ok will do.

Is there a specific code type that are chipable or is it just a case of open it up and see?

The consensus seems to be that the gold ones definetely are, others you have to check.

I have a gold 219 and a black 169 that are both chippable.

You're looking for a daughter board at right angles to the main PCB holding a chip in a socket (usually held in with a plastic clip). EZK's that don't have this extra board can be converted with a kit available from someone on TurboBricks.

PS: fuel cut is caused by the AMM and/or ECU reaching the limit of their calibration. Changing the EZK won't help that.
