TurboTweak Chip Installation Instructions

Custom Chip for Turbo Buick I Turbo TA
Version 5.6
Please read before installing!
1. Before installing the chip, disconnect the power to the ECM by unplugging the orange wire with
the black connector by the battery. This resets the ECM's memory so it can re-Iearn with the new
chip.
2. After gaining access to the ECM and removing the cover, remove the old chip, and carefully
insert the new chip. Sometimes you may have to squeeze the sides of the chip slightly for it to fit
into the socket. The chip will only go in one way. The notch on one end of the chip should be the
same direction as the notch in the ECM socket.
3. Reconnect the ECM power wire. (Important! Always reset the ECM when changing chips, even
from one TurboTweak chip to another TurboTweak chip.) .
4. The chip will work fine with either a stock MAF, or a Translator LT1/LS1 MAF setup. For cars with
a stock type MAF, it must have at least one screen in it. If you have a Translator, the switches
inside the Translator box must be set correctLy to work with this chip. The "MAF BASE" must be
set for your MAF sensor (the settings should be listed on the back of the Translator cover), "MAF wor should be set to "0" (it will have no affect with this chip). The four small on/off switches
should be ON, ON, ON, OFF, in that order. If you have a Translator+, the spark adjustments will
work normally.
5. Turn the key on. The "Service Engine Soon" light should come on, blink once and stay on. If, after
installing the new chip and turning the key on, the "Service Engine Soon" light flashes on and off
rapidly, do not start the car. Try to re-insert the chip, checking for bent pins. Also, check the ECM
chip socket for any pins that are bent in too far, possibly making poor contact with the Chip. The
ECM socket pins can be carefully bent back out with a pin or needle. If the SES light still flashes,
then the chip may be defective, or damaged during Shipment, and will need to be replaced.
Some post offices are using X-ray equipment that has damaged chips in the past.
6. Set the fuel pressure to 43psi (vacuum line off) to start with and tune from there. For an
emissions chip, start at around 38psi. Some cars may need to have the fuel pressure higher or
lower to run their best.
7. The very first time you start the car with a new chip, the idle may flare up to around 2000rpm.
This is common, as the ECM has lost track of the idle air control motor's position. Simply turn the
car off and wait about 5 seconds, then restart. The idle should return to normal.
8. This chip utilizes an open loop idle mode for smoothness (not emissions chips). The first time the
car is run, open loop idle mode will not be enabled. This is to allow the BLM's to learn quicker.
Once the car is warmed up and driven around, the next time the car is started, open loop idle will
be enabled for a smoother idle.
9. The car may need to be warmed up and driven around for the ECM to re-Iearn, in order for it to
run its best. Once the car is warmed up (160°F), most of the learning can be done in about 15
minutes of city driving. Open loop idle will not be enabled until the ECM has "learned" and the car
is restarted the 2nd time (does not apply to emissions chips).
