3 position ts chip???

i just got my bartered ts chip
it is supposed to be a 3 TS performance chip but it has a 3 pos. toggle switch ...
i only know of 4 and six positions chips ...
the part that strikes me funny part is where the wires go onto the board there are 3 wires are in spots 2, 3 and 4 spot 1 is empty no wire


also how do i install the chip ???
there is a black and red wire are they for power to the switch or just to light it up???

Could you post some pics of the chip? I've not seen one that needs power other than from the pcm.

This is for DP-Tuner, but the chip install will be the same. The switch will be a little differant

Keep in mind that the 3 position chips haven't been made in years so it's a fair bet that the files are old as well. There have been numerous advances in tuning over the last several years which may make the programs in you chip seem a little pale by comparison... much like the TS chip made your Superchips seem a little sad.

Most of the sponsors on here should be able to reprogram the 3 position with a nice set of programs, if you should so desire.

In any event, glad to hear it's working well for you. It's always nice to see a PSD owner with a smile
