Not too smart on your part. I have spoken with Jason on countless occassions for tech support and I also got his opinion on the Unichip..
He EVEN stated that its street-legal because it doesnt remove the stock ECU but he also stated that the Unichip isnt competition for the AEM since the AEM is a race car ECU meant for highly modified performance cars and not meant for street driven vehicles..
He is going to get a kick out of someone trying to impersonate him no doubt. I left a message on his voice mail also letting him know that someone is trying to impersonate him. While he may laugh the supervisor I spoke with said this is very serious and they could pursue legal action if they needed to. He also made a good point , he asked why any of their professional AEM EMS techs that are jam packed with tech support issues would waste his time arguing with someone on a website when they dont even have enough time to answer all the questions on the aempower forums? I didnt even think of it that way. Whoever you are you obviously know so little that you had to try and give your words credit by pretending to be someone your not. I just hope for your sake that you become smarter and less emotional as time goes on. You obviously never considered that since Ive been through the AEM course I know Jason and have needed to talk with him from time to time. SAD that those who just want to cut through the bullcrap have to also weed through liars.
2) Part of my job is making sure accurate information is givin about our ECU's on the various forums.
3) I am getting a kick out of the fact you don't think I am me!

We talked about how it made changes to much of the mapping becsuse of the increased fueling. Thats just too ridiculous.
When did he become a member? Hmmm.....interesting. Sad , but interesting.

Our Drag car hasn't seen a change in tune in nearly 3 years....and it runs at tracks all over the country from sea level to 8500' corrected elevations at bandimere. While the EMS is not street legal, neither is Unichip. Any aftermarket device that allows adjustability to the customer after CARB certification is illegal....Adjustable Fuel pressure regulators are illegal. Just because areas don't do smog doesn't change the legality of it, just your chances of getting caught.

This thread is about an AEM running on a scion tc....and quite well I might add. Lance did an excellent job with the cal I sent him. He needed very little guidance from me to get the car running in a very short period of time. No Unichip or any other piggyback by any other name will ever be able to achieve the reliability brought forth by eliminating the stock computers ability to "second guess" what you are trying to accomplish in tuning.
I do have a right to defend myself against frauds and also notify companies that I am affiliated with about illegal impersonations. I know you wouldnt put up with a person who impersonated a moderator and so Im sure you can understand my concern in this issue. With that stated my posts were on topic and will remain there. Thanks though for the nudge!

I would also like to add that I do not show you ever coming in for training anywhere in our system, maybe you can help me with that as well.

Guys, I know I'm not well known around here, but I know Rick personally and Mattsi on this forum as well. Jason S is the real deal for what it's worth. He's the originator of what became the AEM EMU not just some dude that happens to work at AEM. He's well known in the Supra community as well as many others including some mustangs and such.
Anyway, most importantly I'm happy you're enjoying the car Rick. I know you have more planned and can't wait to see how it ends up. I talked to Lance today and he had good things to say.

Speaking of Jason S. I need to call you and talk to you about setting up my account. I was out there a few weeks ago for your training class. Mitch was a good teacher and answered all the questions I had. I learned more then I had imagined I would and had a nice trip out there.

Guys....it's really this simple, anytime you pull out the factory computer your remove the moving bullseye. Factory computers adaptive learn within the design of a stock engine to achieve the best emissions....not fuel economy, not power. They are designed mainly to protect the catalytic converter under power (which is why they run so rich). As for standalone computers, it's down to the guy punching the keys. To say that one computer works great for a Supra, and not for some other car is rediculous. The main reason you see success on certain cars, and not others is because of the support penetration. The Supra was our best selling box up until a few months ago, so more people us them in Supras than anything else. Practice makes perfect doesn't only apply to athletics!
Ricks car runs great because Lance knows what he is doing, and the EMS is highly capable, and will run everything you want. The fact that his car has made so much power and hasn't hurt the engine should tell you all something.Jason.
I kind of got drawn into this post from the title. I want a turbo but haven't had the money so far. i really enjoy this site because unlike a lot of you I haven't added any aftermarket performance to any cars I have had so far. This is the first car that I hope to mod. I gain so much knowledge from these fourms inspite of people trying to highjack the thread. Another well spent hour reading threw a topic.
Hi, everyone, I have been missing in action, mainly racing the scion. hehe
Anyway, the car still runs flawless thanks to Lance and the AEM products from Jasons. Haven’t had any problems or any lost in power. I drive the car everyday as fast as I can, and the car has no problems at all, I know some people has damage there engine, but my tc still in perfect shape at 12psi and I try to abuse it every time I turn the key. Race a Nissan 350 the other day and the guy literary stop my in the road and ask me what the hell did I do to my car….he only had an exhaust and a filter.
Jus to give you guys an update. I was suppose to change the plugs and install an MSD allowing me to increase the boost a bit but haven’t had a chance, I been having fun with the car that haven’t even call Lance… …Hopefully next week it will be done and I will post any increase in power with dyno sheets to you all.
Jasons, Thanks for your help, and Turbocustomz, nice to hear from you…

Jason S??? Who are you again??? LOL
Trust me guys, this is Jason and he is responsible for the design and implementation of the EMS into every car these days!
He is the single best tuner in the country and has taught countless numbers of us how to tune........ Including myself!!
I never would have been able to create the huge HP Supras and other cars that we build daily without Jason's help.
The AEM is the single best modification you can make for your Scion allowing you to make huge HP reliably while getting great drivability and fuel mileage!

rick,
nice to see that your car is still running without problems!
o btw, i tried to call you on Thurs, March 30 to meet up w/ you that night to take a look at your tC...not sure if you got my message or not. you were probably busy racing your car around...hehe

Can't wait to get my AEM in and see what kind of power i'll put down. Hopin' for about 350+
I'll let you guys know. Should be about 1 month or so. Sound Performance will be tuning my AEM.
