It's no a chip... I believe it's a piggy back CPU type system... like an emanage.

The AVC-R is a boost controller. I think you guys are referring to the S-AFC2. That is a simple piggyback fuel computer.

I would invest in a PnP Pre-tuned for bolt on tC Uni-Chip before that. We can do a GB if need be. PM me to get in. I need 5 to make it happen.

We can offer the tC unichip, which is PnP pre-tuned for a bone stock tC, drop in filters, cat-backs and/or Headers.

please dont say pretuned it gives ppl the impresion they dont have to tune it to make power insted use the word base map


and if you have the cash to dump on a unichip do it or posibly spend a little more for the emanage ultimite since it will be cheaper to tune the a unichip

For intake, heaader and exhaust bolt ons, there is really not a lot of power to be gained. A uni-chip will suffice for mere bolt-ons like this.

If you get a bit more aggressive like a PnP, cams, i/h/e, bored TB....then an e-manage ultimate would be ideal. Because then you can justify the extra tuning capability.
