I am looking to buying a piggy back ecu for tuning for a NA tc, the aem fic is appealing but I'm looking towards the unichip, seems like it will be a lot easier to manage and the emanage is too expensive and I'm not boosting my car any time soon I just want to see everyone's opinion on the matter

 

AEM FIC is worthless if youre not going to boost it. You cant advance timing and adjusting fuel at wot will have very minimal impact on performance without being able to advance timing, even at that, going with an EMU or even a standalone (which can fully control timing) will only net small performance gains on a bone stock motor or minor bolt ons (head/exhaust/intake).

 

emanage is the biz

 

Unichip is all you need for N/A....that's what Ive got and it makes for a nice tune a small but noticeable gains when used with other bolt-ons......do a google search to find shops near you that have the software to tune the Unichip to your individual set-up.... that's what will make the biggest difference. Ive got Injen CAI, DC Headers/Nvidia S-pipe, NST Pulleys, a Descendant Intake Manifold, and a Unichip, which pretty much rounds out and checks every square on the available "horsepower" bolt-on mods for the TC, and once I got the tune on the Unichip, it really brought everything together and gave me a small boost in power.

 

^^^ yup. can put it in most any car you buy later. what other piggyback does as much, in the same price range. most tuners know how to work with it.

 

i went with unichip and made my own map for it and i can definitely tell the difference after the tuning. hopefully i can post some dyno sheets up soon showing the before and after

 

You'll be n/a, don't bother.
