Calling Unichip Users

[4001]

It's mapped to do that.

will it still do that if you use a different EBC that what is supplied (i.e. greddy profec Type S)

The Unichip is not going to control an aftermarket EBC. You would have to map it.

That is the point of the Unichip. You plug it in and don't think about it again.

No I understand that but if you set a Greddy EBC to 10 PSI and turn the upped boost switch on than will you still peak at 12 or just to 10?

with forged internals, i would want to up the boost. so, instead of spending $300 on a greddy, i could pay my local authorized unichip tuner $100 to change settings on my unichip ebc and also correct or tweak any part of the map.

would the dealer know that there was a unichip installed?

theyd probably notice the boost controller.
i ran mine without ebc for a few monthes and enjoyed the smoothness and no hesitation or spark cut.

Yeah I understand, but im wondering for someone who isnt going forged and doesnt want to deal with some of the inconsistances with the Suppiled Unichip EBC, if they were to use a different EBC would they be more consitant with their PSI

 

[atticus1398]

actually , the unichip ebc is 10 times more precise than my mbc.
its not really a spike, it hits 12psi between 3-4k rpms then drops to 10.5 all the way to redline. very consistent every time.

but to answer your question, i ran my mbc at 10psi with the unichip for 2 days, then i finally hooked up the unichip ebc. i trust the unichip ebc more than the mbc.

 

[4001]

yeah I didnt think a MBC would be that good, I was talking about another EBC to control the boost. Only because Ive heard of several occisaions where people using the Unichip EBC having some high spikes and inconsistences, and thought a Electronic Boost controller would help

 

[goku4658]

Yeah with FBI, I'm not forged and I don't want to be boosting that high

People have had issues with the stock wastegate also. So you can't automatically blame the Unichip solenoid.

The Unichip has a built in electronic boost controller.... That's how the boost is controlled.

 

[atticus1398]

i know, i have a empty slot above my turbo timer in my gauge plate.
sooner or later ill get a profec b.

 

[poboxjosh]

I have had my unichip on for 4 months never any inconsistencies that i notice it always spikes to 12-13 then levels out. It was the best upgrade i have done. No more air fuel worries.

But it seems more than a few with the Unichip using the upped boost have had a few problems here and there...Hell even you have acknowldeged that the Unichip Boost sloenoid might be the casue.

Yes I was aware of this, but it does not have to be installed for the Unichip to work and and therefore someone could use a different EBC if they were having problems.

Why is this like pulling teeth, Im not against this unit at all

 

[poboxjosh]

I personally have not had any problems with it I was wondering if there was a way to up the boost after the appropriate mods have been done.

Yes, I was just saying people have suggested that to be a problem.

You said "Only because Ive heard of several occisaions where people using the Unichip EBC having some high spikes and inconsistences, and thought a Electronic Boost controller would help". I was just clarifying the Unichip has an electronic boost controller....

 

[WillisW555]

I leave the b/c on, but I don't usually don't let it build up to 12 PSI of boost. I try to control the max boost with throttle. Sometimes I open it up though... just for fun. The EBC makes a huge difference.

Even without the EBC, the car is so much smoother and easier to drive.

 

[poboxjosh]

OK, so i switched out my BOV for a BPV (turbo xs) Now I'm spiking at almost 15 in 4th gear???

 

[atticus1398]

whoa! i thought mine was bad at 13!

 

[4001]

In the install manul PDF it says on Map B for the high Boost it peaks to 10 with a 13PSI transitory spike
