Couple Basic MPI Questions

[Kooldino]

The unichip has a generic tune that will never be the optimum for ALL cars. Each car is different, therefore the tune should be different. To spend the money on a unichip, then put on a FMIC and other stuff, and then send the chip back to be tuned for the upgrades is crap. You will be spending way more than the initial cost of the MPI.

Right, but if he doesn't want to go nuts, like i said, and he just wants something simple and doesn't plan on doing a lot of mods, the Unichip should be fine. Just plug it in and forget about it.

Are you still having your issues with the MPI?? If so, then why not take the suggestions of Nick so your car will run better and make more power.

No issues, just waiting on my JoeP FCD so i can clamp the MAF voltage. The reason I'm not doing my car Nick's way is because I feel that my way is better. My car runs off of completely stock maps until boost comes on. The MAP makes my life simple. From what I've seen, a few minor issues will arise if you tune the way Nick wants you to, and I'd rather just do it my way.

If you are still having issues tuning it, we can help. Learning to tune the MPi is not that difficult.

Right, because I don't know how to tune the MPI.

Maybe your opinions will be different if your car was tuned to it's optimum which would make it a beast like Deans.

Before I ran into my current issues, my car was tuned beautifully. I've had well respected professional tuners ride in my car and they were amazed at how smooth and well tuned it was. Now i have a MAF voltage issue. It would probably be fixed if I had my FCD, but I'm playing the waiting game instead.

Oh yeah, comenting on a vendors profit margin or other business sense is not appropriate from a "Super Mod".

I can say what the **** I want, thanks. Last I checked, the right to state my opinion wasn't revoked when I became a Super Mod.

So how does Kooldino posting his opinion, which is probably more fact than opinion, give anyone the right to slam him? No one here has any idea what Nick makes on these units. So jesus christ give it a rest. The guy wants easy to use borderline generic piggyback system, let him get the unichip..if he wants flexibility in his mods and more control, let him get the proven MPi..how hard is this? It isn't. The End.

I'm leaning towards the MPI... I don't plan on seriously modding my car, at least for a few years, but MPI seems less expensive due to it's flexibility and free tuning. Also the gains seem to be a little more potent with less boost than the Unichip, which is less wear and tear on the engine, right?

Damn, how did the s*** get so stirred up? If you know Nick, he is one of the most selfless vendors out there. If you read the thread about what I went thru, and what others went thru with a certain shady character, then you know this! I don't think Kooldino intended to stirr up the hornet's nest with his statements, but I for one wouldn't commment on a vendor's profit margin, especially a freind of mine. As innocent as it may be, its just a common sense thing to me. If there is anyone who believes that Nick is ripping them off, and they don't think the price is justifiable, just don't buy it! Simply take the money elsewhere! There are quite a few options out there. What you will miss out on is the support, and his unique experience that he brings to the table. There are quite a few satisfied customers on this forum. The decision is up to you!

Oh, right, blame me for "stirring up the hornet's nest". Azian6er is the one who brought it up. I was just acknowledging his point.

but I for one wouldn't commment on a vendor's profit margin, especially a freind of mine.

We all can't be as good as you, Patrick.

I never once said it was a rip off. It's a good system for the buck. I wouldn't own one if it weren't. Don't get your panties in a bunch over nothing. The idea that my mod status revokes my right to state my opinion on things is absurd.

I agree with this, never stop giving your opinion. I think that you post some good stuff.

Thanks bro.
