When E85 comes to mind, I can't imagine it's easy to tune for it without getting true adjustments to the actual tables in the ECU, not just intercepting and changing the signals. Getting consistent AFR's is with closed loop fuel trims is crucial and I'm not sure that Unichip can deliver that. Also I think it says something that no aftermarket turbo/sc manufacturer for these cars has gone with Unichip as a tuning platform yet, they are all EcuTek.
I like the no footprint idea and the price, but there has been too many delays with Unichip E85 and FI development and that makes me really nervous. Leaning towards EcuTek here...  |
Exactly. I invested in Unichip thinking that it would be a good upgrade path because I would be saving roughly 500 dollars by having patience vs. an EcuTek E85 flash, but now I think I'll just cut my losses and make the switch if there's no Unichip E85 solution within the next 30 days or so; they have had plenty of time to do this. For what it is it works very good, improving the performance throughout the entire powerband it seems for a low-price(best price/performance upgrade for the car out there probably), but the difference in price between these two competitors seems more justified to me now more than ever.
