Yes, although +5-10 whp/wtq with IHE isn't really a lot.

why would you need a turbo to tune your car? that unichip is going to allow you to get the most out of her intake and exhaust. your not going to get a lot of power like you want, but it'll definitely be some noticable gain. you have a turbonetics turbo kit so you must know how hard it is to get power without forced induction, when even with a turbo, these cars don't move, without punching your engine. so to answer your question, yes use the unichip, it wil help, but no, it is not going to get you a lot of power.

Yes, I did hthis for a while. Call Unichip and you can send it in for a reflash. They already have a map and it does add some mid range power.

^^ This ^^ One of the XB2 guys was kind enough to dyno his car with IHE and again right after installing the Unichip with their PnP tune. Peak gains were 5whp and 10wtq but he gained up to 10whp and 15wtq in the mid-range.

Thats what i have done on my auto tC (yea its an auto out of my control... thanks parents, but still love it) I/H/E and there is some noticeable gain. You can switch between 2 maps on for regular octane and one for 91/93 octane and couple weeks ago i drained my regular and filled up with 91 and hit the switch for the second map and definitely felt some gain, more responsive forsure at the least. Then finished that off and filled up with regular octane and switched back to the first map and feels like its back to normal. Me likey though got it for a good deal and i can do some tuning through a buddy at unichip where he takes over my computer while its plugged in to the unichip and tuned it. Their customer service is pretty badass also. At least for me it is haha good luck!

^^ This should be moved to the TC section since his Unichip isn't compatible with the XB.

Edit: The for sale section would be more appropriate.

By the way their website shows an '05 making 186 whp with a TRD intake and a mystery cat. Yeah, right...a boost of around 35+ when you consider '05/'06 came with 160 at the flywheel...
