Race Chip install... Tiny hands needed??

schland · 04-18-2018, 12:07 AM

Anyone installed a race chip on an F15 know if the plugs are the ones tucked right down at the bottom??

The brochure is of no use for the X5 motor and I cant even get my hand near the plugs to remove them to try it!!

One on the bottom right side of the intake box, you need to open the intake box to access the other one right behind.

The RachChip Ultimate is very simple to install, the RaceChip GTS is a little more difficult due to the cam sensor plug. I don’t have small hands by any means and I’ve done them both on 35i.

The plugs are under the air box. It has to be removed. And they're on the fronts of the heat exchangers
