No problem!

Here are the charts. 4 is CAI and Borla, 6 is low test map, and 8 is high test map. A/F is at bottom of 2nd image, and I have one more sheet for it to post.

So, stock specs are

158hp at 6000rpm
162ftlb at 4000rpm

Scion Fred said he saw 126hp for stock in a mag, at the wheel. Thats a 20% loss, and comes to stock wheel specs around:

126hp at 6000rpm
130ftlbs at 4000rpm

CAI/Borla/High Test Map have given
141hp at 6000rpm
138ftlbs at 4900rpm

Increased worked back in for flywheel
158 and 162 stock
176 and 172 now, if I did my math right.

Signature updated with peak numbers and rpm's

The gains aren't too bad I guess, although who a full exhaust+header may have made those more noticeable. Good to finally see real world #'s.

Yeah, Im gonna do a UDP next, but prob wont dyno. If they get our midpipe made, and I buy one, I may redyno after that. I may get a header down the road, and will dyno then, after a Unichip reprogram. To be honest, Im very happy with the car now, and other than the UDP, am not in too big a hurry on anything else. My only issue with the header is noise, but a larger midpipe will be tempting.

I'm gonna move into exterior mods for awhile, with porbably longo tails, rumion badges, and a rear swaybar.

I think for anyone wanting to enjoy their car a little more, a CAI, exhaust and chip is pretty nice.

Up for sale on Ebay. It's been fun, but after some thinking, Ive decided it's now time to head more in the visual mods direction. Gonna keep the CAI, Exhaust and Pulley, but the Chip goes.

Ive been happy with it, I mean the dyno numbers dont lie. It was a 5hp/tq increase over all, but there are several points in the RPM band where it did a LOT more. Starting price on it's 50% of what it costs new, so it's really a lot of bang for the buck. Money I get from it will probably go to Longo Tails. Also, if you dont want to run 93, the 87 gains weren't bad.

I'm not sure what they charge to reflash, but i think its very cheap. Would come in handy for the header.

It's worth it if you never plan on going turbo down the road, because tuners are rare for the UniChip.

If I went Turbo, I'd sell the Unichip and go with another unit anyways. Talk to ScionFred about that.

I did not see a fuel economy change either way with it, nor with the UDP.

I'll PM you the link, not sure of the rules here.

So what's the impact on gas mileage?

To those of you still needing an idea on whether to consider getting one of these, after my dyno sheet, there is a difference. FroZone bought it yesterday, so I pulled it and put it inside. On my normal commute this AM, the car does not accelerate like it did, even on normal driving. Def missing a little pep.

Ive been using it for awhile now and had gotten used to it, car feels like a couple of people are in it with me now.
