are all 1995 vr6 chips soldered in the ecu? i know mine has a chip but im not the one who had it installed.. the previous owner did it, so im not sure if its a socket or a solder in one.

they solder in a socketing peice. U can change ur chip anytime, like the 96.5 and after ones.

No. My 95 was pre-socketed from the factory.

a buddy of mine had a 95 obd1 vr6 that was socketed not soldered. I'm not sure what exact month his car was, but i do remember his being a late model 95. mine was built in 6/95 and was soldered

My car was built around 11/94 (too lazy to go look), and I had a socketed chip AND I have textured side moldings

how did the garrett affect gas mileage... i averaged 27.5 in town and 30-32 on freeway trips..

My car had a soldered chip. Build date was 9/95.
Garrett's chip dropped my MPG into high teens for city and mid 20's for highway (that's down about 5 MPG each).

mine's socketed too.
I think she's a Nov 1994 baby.
dude at TT told me most, but not all are soldered.. hence the misconception that 1995's are all soldered chips

Yup, socketed. Josh down at Matrix was happy he didn't have to do any extra work

Um, I think my mileage went down about 1mpg. There is a very noticeable difference from 4000rpm up too, it pulls very hard for stock. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Oh well, you've got the charger now, so I'm playing catch up
