Got an 06 tc and getting ready to get it tuned. Will be getting the car tuned with a unichip computer. Just wondering how long does it take to install the piggyback its all plug and play so im not worried about that. But how hard is it to get the cars computers? And where do people place the piggyback and how do you guys usally use to mount it? Screws, velcrow or anything else?
Thanks,
Chris

 

usually it sits in the glovebox which is near the ECU of the car. i dont think it has to be very througly secured, just has to sit in the glovebox.

 

mine is actually behind the glovebox, right next to the stock ecu.

 

So in order to get to my ECU do I have to take the glove box out or anything? Or can I just get to it by looking underneith the dash?

 

how much was that piggy back and where did you get it?

 

you can just pop the glove box down completly and the ECU is right behind. Unplug the clip from the ecu, clip it in the correct port on your unichip.

Very easy with the PNP unichip. Which kit are you running the unichip with?

 

can someone answer my question please?

 

Sorry...

$600-$750 usually

used is a whole other ball game

 

naw i dont like buying used crap... because you never know what kinds of things they did to it especially electronic parts which you're at risk of frying your pcm

 

anything used (EMS) you should get it cleared and retuned when you get it

 

Santana, I thought you were getting the JDM ecu from the tC's in Japan from Password:JDM? What happened with that?

 

where is this going?

 

nope sorry man the only thing they said that they haven't even tried doing one for any 2008 scions. I didn't ask if they did it for older years.

 

santana0304... are you "FORPINKS"???

 

come on now man i just got the car couple of months ago you think i have the turbokit and all those nice stuff nah.... man i got my car last year in nov. but it is a 08 tho

 

just making sure

 

trust me man if i had my ____ hooked up the way i wanted it no problem i would do it. just that my project is too expensive and im a indepent man no help from no one. not like those youngers out there that have mommy and daddy buy their sh*8

 

um...I bought all my stuff myself...
But I just noticed your from Vegas...did you say you already have a turbo kit? What kit?

 

I think you need to put your age back on your signature to let people know your an old fart and pay for your own stuff

Santana0304 has that lost thoughts that make no sense just like ForPinks had...

 

naw... man i just got my car in nov. i really haven't had time to mess with it really. Dude I am 23 own my own condo trust me man if i was rich or someone was paying for my ride. Trust me man i wouldn't be getting a scion. I would probably go with a viper.
