Default Project: tC v2.0

This is the season for new mods to be installed on cars, I thought i would share mine with everyone here. I ordered a whole list of goodies to be installed in the coming months.

Starting out with whats done to the car isn't much, cheap eBay axle-back exhaust, DME header, and AEM CAI. Stay tuned for updates.

Got my HIDs installed this morning while at work, and this evening got my UniChip installed. Love my HIDs already. Ive never had a car with them but ill never go back to normal bulbs again. The Unichip i did a quick run down the road and i could feel a difference. Have to fill up with some alcohol free 91 and run around to do a true test.

i guess im out of the loop but UniChip? i thought all the talk about ecu chips were false and there is no chip that helps the performance of the tC. i read a lot about chips promising HP but actually making the car run worse when dyno'd? any and all insight would be great!

the UniChip is a piggy back system that the maps can be changed depending on the mods that u have done to get the most out of them. Seat of the pants driving with mine compared to not having it is a big difference. I havent gotten it dyno'd to see how much it puts out

a friend of mine had those same wheels, they cracked maybe 3 different times. Not the same ones different one every time. So be careful ;)
