Does Unichip have a FR-S/BRZ solution available? In your opinion, what are the benefits of going with UNICHIP over someone like ECUTek?

I would want to see their shop. I would want significant investment into a shop doing FI.

The point is OP said he wanted me to retract my "ridiculous" opinion. I cannot. I though this was what this forum was for. To share opinions and help fellow owners out. If they didn't want discussion about it maybe they should have posted this on their website(when it's up, OP said it would be soon) instead of a forum.

Opinions are fine, but dont go slamming the shop when you dont know anything about us. We have pictures on facebook of the shop and what we are currently working on, like the 03 teminator cobra that we are currently putting a procharger f2 on. With that said all we are asking is that you be more tasteful with what you are saying and you get all your facts straight before you post. When the kit comes out and you see the results and the customers feedback and the price then you can give us your thoughts.

Did Unichip move away from a piggy-back that will get overridden in the ECU?

I think he was asking what FI systems you've developed, not which kits that were engineered elsewhere that you've installed. Replacing one blower with another isn't exactly engineering..

Question: If the motor pops while under your care, do you replace the motor or will it be considered "one of those risks" for the customer?

Still looks like a piggyback.

Yeah, Unichips lasted a year or two on the first USDM WRXes, then real solutions came out.

What facts are inaccurate. I'll be glad to correct them. So you've worked on one 03 cobra?

Exactly the types of questions I was implying when I said "Beware"
