Spoon chip - worth fitting?

To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

So shall I forget the convertor, fit the chipped ECU and leave it at that? ..I'd quite like VTEC in first though - but as it seems like a fair amount of hassle I might just let it go..

The converter is, afaik, fitted in line with the cabling, and is three wires. Shouldn't be too hard to move, pretty sure someone on here will have more of a clue. Someone like @Ammo perhaps?

Thanks that's great :) I'll have a look later.. I hope I don't trash it!

Actually that link says if I put the convertor behind the dash, I will get VTEC in first but the 112mph limiter won't be removed. So I will then rely on the Spoon chip to remove the limiter?

The converters only have 4 wires, the one on the left is showing them "passing through" the converter.

Yours will prob be wired like the right one, just near the VSS
