what chip is it? if its a t.i. chip you can send it back and get a retune if need be. but that doesnt fix your problem if its got a mechanical fault

It isn't a T.I chip. I'm still trying to find out what chip it is, the guy who got it only asked what fuel we are running, didn't check a dyno sheet and it was before the car was started or run in.

The el intake manifold is a broad band manifold. the intake runners are variable length/volume because it has a flappy doodad (technical term!) that switches over at high rpm. Im not sure if would cause the problems you are having if it wasnt working though.

It's a running a Moates chip at the moment. but they didn't know AFRs before it was tuned.
Also, I just noticed that someone has written "EL Auto" on the computer but it's got a manual box. Does this mean I need to get the new chip set up for a manual conversion? |

Could it have anything to do with ISC not functioning correctly?

It was done by Bullet Performance and he is of the opinion that it is just blocking smartshield/smartlock but he doesn't have any notes on what he did to it.
At a guess I think this might mean that the car is running a stock tune. Could that be why it has around 50hp missing at the rear wheels? |
