Before you carry out any action be aware of the fact that static electricity can be dangerous for the chip and any electronic component. Also work in a clean environment and with clean hands.

In the Alfa 33 The injection computer is places under the glove compartment. At the right side of the car. Take away the plastic box under the glove compartment (4 screws) and the plastic cover by removing the two M5 bolts.

For the 164 it’s placed on the middle section behind the radio.

For the Spider the ECU is placed under the hard cover behind the front seats on the right of the car.

Now you can take out the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Check if the ignition is off. Unlock the clip by pushing it a little and take out the white connector from the ECU.

These tools are the only tools you need. A good sharp screwdrivers and pliers.
Open the clips with the screwdriver gently. Watch out for your fingers.
Put the clips straight up so you can remove the cover easily.

This is a little difficult. The computer exists out of two layers. Press the two layers out off their slots with your thumbs and two fingers gently. When this doesn’t work then watch the construction to see what must happen and try again.

At the connector side the upper layer is in a slot. Pull the layer out as shown on this picture.
Push the two layers from each other for about this distance.
Now open the layers. Isolate the upper layer from the surface using a piece of paper or plastic.

Now remove the chip by using a screw driver. Just remove the chip a little by little doing this, as shown at pictures, at both sides of the chip. Two or three pushes at each side of the chip should be enough.

After removing the chip pay attention to the direction of the chip. On the layer you can see a white spot. The chip has got a little hole. These two have to point in the same direction.

The Squadrachip is installed on an anti-copy device. This can not be removed otherwise the engine won’t start!!!

Take the Squadrachip out of his box and put it into the socket from the computer. Push the chip into the socket gently by using your fingers at the underside of the layer to help. Don’t forget the white plastic isolation piece. Put back the cover and press by using the screw driver the clips. Again watch you fingers !

Before rebuilding the computer at this point check if the engine will start. Check if the ignition switch is still off. Then connect the computer. If it starts everything is all right.
