By Chip I guess you mean the ECU, which should be situated behind the battery near firewall.

A word of warning! If you don’t know what an an ECU looks like and you’re not skilled in systems engineering then you shouldn’t even think of playing with it :eek: also most chip upgrades are done via a chip box which generally plug into the engine bay OBD11 port though I don’t know of any one who does these yet for non turbo versions of the i30.
