Got my Unichip Q today, and the install went fine until I got to the part about selecting the map. Apparently, I did not purchase the 2 position switch. All I got is the unit itself and the wiring harness.
The installation instructions read:
a. Connect the Map 0/1 Switch black 2-pin Molex plug to the StS's 2 pin Comm connector
b. Position the Map 0/1 Switch Loom as desired
So here's what I've got, a 2 pin connector and a 6 pin connection on the StS with 3 different positions that it can be plugged into:
I plugged it into the middle position, as you see here. My question is, how do I select between the 2 maps? Move the connector to one of the other positions? And if so, which one is which? Or must I also purchase the optional switch in order to change maps? And if I'm limited to only one without the switch, which one is it?
This is the only problem I encountered -- the rest of the install went really smoothly, except getting to a couple of those connectors would be a real bitch if you had large hands.
As for performance, the torque dip is noticeably smoothed out. Of that I'm certain. However, whether that's the result of the valley being shallower or the peaks being lower, I can't really say for certain with just the ol' butt dyno. I've only had the car 2 weeks and haven't really spent enough time with it to be able to say for certain. Plus it only has 750 miles on it, so I'm still not pushing it very hard.
I will say that I took off from a dead stop on dry pavement a couple of times after the install, and the traction control flashed at me. I've never seen that before, so I have to assume that it's generating a little more power, resulting in breaking the tires loose more than it used to.
