so on top of the initial purchase price, you're up for around $600 to get the Unichip tuned?

Yes, professional installation and tuning of the chip is expensive but the results are well worth it.

I have ran Unichip's in almost all of my cars and can testify that they are a great performance modification.

There are people who get dodgy people to try and tune them on the cheap or try to do it themselves but why try and save money on something that can provide such joy.

If you can't afford the tuning, don't buy the Unichip.

ouch .. This is going to have to be a definite if I've got extractors, exhaust & going to be installing the b0red out throttle body right?

is it worth it for $850+ ?

The car will run with extractors & TB, but with no Unichip, but it will be rough. The stock ECU can only compensate for so much a variation in air & fuel requirements. The Unichip will allow you to get the most out of your mods. You'll see another 10kws - its the last thing you do. You want more power after this, you need to go buy a hairdryer / Blower / bottle of happy gas.

Cool, thanks guys, whats the diff between the Unichip & an E-manage?

Also, how much of the low end would I lose from 2.5" Exhaust, Extractors, Hi-flow cat & Bigger TB with the unichip installed? Would it be massively noticeable?

anytime after 4pm is fine, unless you want me to bring it to you, i'll probably be heading out to heathcote after work anyway.

mr charisma, you wont lose any low end torque with a 2.5" exhaust, its going further than that, that will take away low end because of low backpressure that N/A cars need.

the only N/A cars that need exhausts over 3" are big block V8's, old school american muscle, with over 3 times the capacity of your car.

the bored out throttle body might make you lose low end though, had a mate that put a twin throttle manifold on a V6 commodore (single throttle standard) and he lost a little bit, but gained more kW up top.
