do u live by a unichip tuner? Any good tuner should be able to tune a UTEC, but you have to be certified to tune the unichip. In my opinion the UTEC gives you more flexibility.

Also, there is no logging with the unichip, so if you have to troubleshoot issues you will have to bring it to the tuner.

I live by a good unichip tuner and yes it has no logging, but i have no wide band lambda and do not think the expence of buy and fitting a wide band is worth the extra gain ??

I would all ways take it to the rolling road to get it tuned any way ??
Is that the only benift to the utec ??

Thanks for the reply

Does Unichip also take full control of your timing and Fuel under load? What about Temp Compensation (Lol I know Utec's Temp Comp. is not the best!)
