Custom burnt chip troubles???
I recently bought a chip that was burnt by a guy who had almost identical mods to his car. The chip increased timing across the board turned on highway mode and turned off the speed limiter. I think it also gave it a better air fuel ratio. The chip is excellent as far as a power improvement is concerned . However my car runs hotter than normal with it ( around or alittle above 220 versus about 180) and idles significantly faster (around 1500 or so RPMS). if i let it coast it will shift into second gear itself. Is this normal with a chip like this if not is there anything I can do to correct it?

Get the chip changed.
Just because a chip works great for one guy's car doesn't mean that it will work great for your setup. Also, there are a lot of "personal preferences" that one guy might think is great and the other person can't stand.
