| Ok so I always hear talk about e-manage... unichip... AEM computers and so on! What is up with all this stuff and what is the difference? I did a search but really didnt come up with anything. And is there any way to take my laptop inside my car and adjust the computer when I want? Or be able to view car perfomance? I am so confused. |

| I dont wanna be rice lol... just to do some good tuning and adjust the computer when I add new performance parts. But I really dont know about all the emanage and unichip and what it all does. I know that it basically creates a new air/fuel map for the driving conditions. But weather changes and so do most of my aftermarket parts.... soooo thats why I am confused. |

Pretty much all of them are STRONGLY suggested that you tune at a trained dyno tuning facility...
Short- Emanage is easiest to self tune
- Unichip must be tuned at a dealer
AEM is pricey....
Just look into EMANAGE in the search and you'll be good to go. |

| Get E-manage ultimate , its amazing, and with that you could hook up your laptop and tune yourself. I wouldnt mess with it though unless you know what your doing. |

I will have to check it out... I want to wait for more superchargers to come out and see what power those can handle. I know HKS is in development of a supercharger
so only time will tell. |

| Unichip!!! Plug and play!! Come's pre-tuned from the manufactuer or get a custom pre-tune at www.ForceFedracing.com Also with the Unichip for an extra 2 or 3 hundred dollars you get a Flux Display that will monitor your engine vitals, g-tech meter and has security options (like eneter your pin before your car starts) and yes 100% wireless. Bluetooth baby. Flux display is just an altered hp palm pilot for uni-chip. |

The Emanage Ultimate is still buggy. And the tC's ECU has been known to remap over it.
AEM. I don't know of any tCs right now that are using an AEM computer.
Unichip is probably the best one out there now.(with the flux capacitor. hehe I made a funny)
The downside is it has to be tuned by an authorized Unichip technician.
I think the closest one to me is like 80 miles away :P |

AEM would be your ultimate best bet, then Unichip. But emanage will get you by and its been working good so far. |

| So much stuff out there... and where would i get plutonium for the flux capacitor!!!! (kidding) But i think its gonna be a toss up between AEM and then the Unichip. Gonna have to look into it more. |

| some ecu's will allow you to have 2 independent maps and you could change them on the fly. Problem solved |

You'll have to find Dr. Brown. Sorry, couldn't resist. From what I have read, the AEM is much more expensive than Unichip. Also, I don't think a stand-alone system would be best suited for a daily driver. Try searching on here. There hasn't been a lot posted on the AEM ems, but there is a lot of info. on Unichip and E-Manage on these boards. |
