Good quality full chip is sp33-c without internal cables. (Unlike sp33-E)
Currently only one seller advertises sp33-c with amb2300. But not tested yet. Will take pictures as soon mine arrives but here are the pictures from their site. (In a comparison with other boards they had good oki but on this photo oki is not original). Not sure if they have two sp33-c amb2300 versions with original and fake?? Oki chips. Hope the comparison pictures with original oki are correct and my order comes with the second pair of photos.

From what I've been able to string together the genuine Oki chip has a mirror circle on the left lower corner and a dot in the other upper right corner without the pin being cut, but genuine Oki chips are hard to find now, inside a dealership genuine 5054a the main connection to the main board is a circuit board no wires,also the TJA sits the opsite way around to the Oki unless this is just printed different on the top of it, from reading a few threads we may not need the Oki for general use ? Not sure if this is correct?

See second pair of photos. Some say oki is only needed for old man year cars and specific models/car makes. Not sure if this makes sense because I thought vas5054a was made for audi/vw/seat/skoda and lamborginy only. Though it may work as a j2534 passthru too e.g say honda. So oki might be needed with makes like ford (passthru). Maybe someone can give a better explanation because supporting other makes does not make sense to me.

VAS is not much more than an EDIC interface that was targeted towards VAG products. It still can operate like a normal EDIC interface for passthrough with the correct drivers.
There is no perfect clone.

Memory is 5V I believe. It is the V suffix with 3.3 V.

China pics on vas heads are just pics in 95% of cases (good ones), in general what you see is not what you get.
You must learn to compromise, to forget oki (used for pt, alhambra old and sharan old that had ford engines) , take one with 5V memory and a must ORIGINAL AMB2300, then do rework when you get it.
What china does not show is back of amb2300 board, because there you can see if is fake or not. Metal cases and stickers a lot have been copied from forums.
Regarding vas5054 as passthru maybe someone has the time to put a small tutorial in a thread so that this EDIC to be proper configured under xp,w7,w8.... and to tell what programs did they test with it, to see some real feedback.
