If you go to Unichip's website they are sellig for $792.44

Funny thing is, if you check the dyno for stock & the one with the mods added to the car they are identical.

Unichip is claiming 18hp....

they are not that far from me. petit was going to test it with their system but never did. several people have tried it over the years. its about equal to emangle blue. maybe slightly better. i know one of the PR guys was using it some time ago. taka also used it many years ago.

not much of an alternative for na with flashing available now /soon. could be an alternative for fi- just hasn't been utilized. they DO have a nice plug and play loom

Takahashi ran one a couple of years ago. He had a good write up on it. It can be found on his website.

Taka's review is from 11/2004 and there have been a few flashes to come out for our car so I wonder if the results would be better?

zoom44,

I had no idea they were next to us. Do you know of anyone local that has installed it? I'm not really interested (waiting on Cobb) but just curious.
