Yes... it's a very very large chip though called 'V6 Engine' and goes instead of the little chip called '4-pot'...   ;D

BTW, congrats for being a new dad  :y

From a technician's point of view I can see why re-flashing an ECU is easier than programming a new chip and then replacing the old one (which sometimes also requires soldering), but from a consumer point of view it is probably easier to order a modified chip and replace it yourself rather than take your ECU off and post to be re-flashed - apart from the fact that the car will be grounded for the duration, you also risk Royal Mail loosing your ECU in the post....  ;D
