Default Out of luck with s/c

I havnt been able to get my car on the road since I supercharged it. When it didnt run right I figured it was cause I didn't have a tune yet. Today I got my unichip in the mail and the guy had already tuned it for my set up. The car still is not running right. I have no idea what's wrong. I need it on the road

Told you before in a previous post, you should have gotten an AEM F/IC or an emanage. You need to take the car to be tuned. there is no plug and play solution.

It has been posted MANY times that trying to make a used incomplete supercharger kit work will result in many problems with minimal returns.

I'm betting that Unichip wasn't a tune for a stock ECU with a supercharger, but probably a TRD reflashed ECU with a supercharger, it won't work for your car, mainly because it wasn't tuned for your car.

solution 1: Find a unichip tuner, have it towed there for a tune.

solution 2: AEM F/IC or Emanage: have it towed to a tuner that knows what they're doing. (Maybe ask which one they're most familiar with). and have it tuned.

Ive read that the unichip with the supercharger map is meant for an ecu with the trd reflash.
