Remove gold grounding tab on PCM

Here's another set of instructions from dieselmanor for the TS chip.

Hmmm, same chip but different instructions. They indicate to reinstall the gold ground tab and also state that the black plastic needs to not be cut out and that it is there to hold the chip in place.

I don't know. I don't want to screw this thing up and I can follow instructions.

Based on Cleatus' advice I will go ahead and cut out the back of the black plastic PCM bracket and then reinstall the ground tab. Shouldn't take long and that should prevent the black plastic case from putting too much pressure on the chip which may cause issues with the PHP chip.

Trust me, you'll want to cut the black plastic case. It WILL cause connection issues. I tried to get away without cutting a big hole and the chip didn't work cause the plastic was pushing the chip and causing no connection. I then removed everything again, cut the plastic and everything worked great. Glad it worked out that way, as I found out the tranny had upgrades so I needed to pull the chip to get it reburned and it made that task much simpler, as I now don't need to pull the entire PCM to get to the chip.
Now if Bill would just reburn that thing and get it back to me I'd be a much happier camper!!! Bill you out there!!!
