Whats the deal on these Unichip Performance Chips? Anyone have one or know about them... worth the money?

 

Unichip is a great product but many ppl here would say that is not worth it on an N/A car but yes on a F/I car.

 

you know, there is something my dad bought for his truck. i don't know if it's considered a superchip because you don't install it, but...the product's name was "SUPERCHIPS". He plugged it into his truck where you would normally plug in a diagnostic reader i think. and he was able to tune his truck with it, there was a huge difference in pick up after he was done. i wonder, does anyone make something like this for us? it's a great mod because you can't even see the thing (because after your done tuning the ecu, you just unplug the thing)

 

they have something like that for mustangs that are pretty popular, my frined tuned his mustang to a 93 octane tune with one of them...svt tuner(?) i think its called. u could notice the difference after he used it.

 

yeah i wondre if there is something like that for us scion owners, honestly i hate the fact that i've spent money on an intake and exhaust and it feels like the ecu reset itself to compensate for them. i don't know about these resistor type "chips" they seem pointless for a 1HP gain.

 

The resistor chips are pointless, there is no kind of svt tuner, etc.. for our cars. Many of those are also made for stock turbo cars or turbo diesel trucks which ours do not have, so for now, you have to go with some kind of fuel management system or the like. Sorry to be a downer
