The unichip when it first came out was an ideal solution to ecu's that at the time could not be remapped/modified.

However, these days, nearly all now can be remapped as tuners have learned/bought in the technology to do it.

Pikey as in its just a piggyback chip... I don't rate them at all, in fact, one car I can think of ran better and made more power on the standard ECU and an electronic boost controller rather than the 'custom mapped' Unichip.


Cheers,
Grant
