not sure what engine I got, but I need to know how to take the instrument panel out as the chip sits behind that and also delimits the car to enable you to go faster than the 112mph, if anyone knows how to take out the instrument panel, please let me know.

well this is a different type of question...not too bad to do.
first remove the three screws under steering column cover and remove cover
take out two screws under instrument cluster
then the cluster will pop out
there are six or seven connectors behind that cluster and they have two clips holding them in, one at the top, and the other at the bottom, so it makes it even more enjoyable to disconnect them. :-)
that's it...obviously you have to disconnect your dimmer and headlight motor switches and the cig. lighter, but you get the idea.

I found it helpfull to lower the column also. Pretty much step by step can be found HERE
The air duct (drivers side not passenger) just pulls out to reveal the screws. It takes a fair amount of force if it's never been out so be brave!
