And yes, the Unichip is a pile of garbage, and a marketing gimic. And this is coming from an authorized Unichip tuner. If it's included in a kit, then fine, but I would never consider purchasing one seperately.

They say that a piggyback is ok because the ECU only makes corrections when it runs in closed loop mode (below 3000 rpm and 25% gas). When you run at WOT or near it, the stock ECU runs in open loop mode with a fixed fuel table and doesn't makes corrections at it...all of this is true?

2.) You are racist because you thought it was funny, but it wasn't; even
though you consider yourself part Asian...

3.) Getting banned from this site is the biggest mistake aside from being a racist.
So we wouldn't give a rat shiet about you.

4.) Hookedonphonics is in order, if you know what that is.

5.) Your grammar sucks.

6.) In conclusion, you are not Asian.

With respect to the unit included with the APS TT kit, it has a couple of major limitations: 1) scaling large injectors 2) getting consistent tunes since its offset based on timing and fuel. 3) sporadic issues with limp modes at high boost. Maybe I was a too harsh, but there are much better systems out there, that offer better safety, control, and consistency.

Having owned both a Unichip and a Utec; I must say that the Utec out performed the unichip in all aspects. I'm not saying that the unichip didn't work, for it did, but when compared to the utec; the Utec was far superior. It was a noticable difference. Also the resale on a unichip is horrible; where as the resale on a utec is reasonable.
