Agreed, I thought the only way to change compression was by physically changing the size of the pistons or similair, like the gap between the head and the block, as in taking a big skim or similair. Not too sure on that stuff though.
Anyone able to confirm if they're talking jobby?

It could be a chip for higher compression pistons. Though I haven't heard of people raising the compression of an engine without doing other things to the engine as well.

piggy backed, the engine that ecu came off of must of had a bit of work done and had a higher compression so they went and got a re mapable chip to be piggy backed onto the standard one.. its fairly common to se being done..
