I believe it is ( I would expand but never used the unichip, and plan on boosting soon so Ecutek was a long term investment for me. Now OFT supports boosted but masters tuners perf something like Ecutek for our platform), the dealer can see both Ecutek and OFT flashes. I suggest you checkout the So cal meets and come out and talk to the people who have the mods your looking at you can even ask for a test drive ect.

The sales forum has a lot of stuff constantly changing, just be mindful of parts that might not fit a new 86.

Both the OFT and Ecutek tunes will offer far more performance and capability than the unichip.

This is fact: An OFT/ecutek tune will give you far more bang for your buck (better performance return per dollar spent) than a larger throttlebody alone.
