Garbage... I had it previously for my Vortech application and it was a pain in the *** to get tuned correctly when I upgraded injector size. The individual was a "certified" tuner with unichip and even though they had them on the phone there still was such poor control of fuel.

If your car is STOCK i think that may be for that price you can try it.
They claim 20hp of more power (TOO MUCH imho) and for less money is hard to find something similar.
In case of hard mods or "high" aspectative from map is better to use other system for maps, like UPREV.
Unichip is a piggybag solution, so not "car" tuned but generic one.

I think that you get what you pay usually...

What do you have done to your car? For naturally aspirated there are much better alternatives such as Uprev, and for boost, the Haltech. Save your money and pass on the unichip.

At 250$ you have no many choice and UNICHIP for STOCK car seems not so bad...

If you have more money a lot of better options, for sure!
