I read through the Unichip install docs and it intercepts the MAF, Crank Position Sensor, and Throttle Position Sensor. There have been good gains to be had from controlling the VVTi system which I don't know how the Unichip might accomplish?




I would agree with this. Even though I have an Ecutek tune, I'm not a fan at all of the way it all works. Even though your ECU is no longer "locked" like it once was, a license is still tied to an ECU forever. I can sell my dongle and cable to someone so they could use my tune but they still need to shell out $200 for a license.

The boost solenoid is controlled by the original purge solenoid circuit for the charcoal canister
