Dude, relax this is not an argument. As I understand, there are plenty of boost controllers that can control spikes, otherwise everyone on this freaking forum that is running increased boost would be experiencing huge spikes. I am not talking about the 12psi spike that is supposed to be there. I am talking about larger spikes that some users have experienced. If you do a search about this, you will see that several people have seen spikes as high as 15 or 16psi with the unichip. Sorry, but that is too much. If yours works exactly as intended, then that is great, but some of them are not.

ouch, never heard about spikes that high. I wasnt being a dick/arguing. sorry if it typed out that way.

LOL. Nice. Thanks Shane
As far as the spiking... depending on what the unichip is doing to interface with the stock systems to control boost, it is likely overshooting with too much gain... if it levels out and holds after the initial spike it means that it is keeping the wastegate closed too long.. it's not a big deal... but yes it can be a concern for some... and just because it occurs at low rpm's does NOT mean it is safer... it can be more dangerous in fact becaue the time of compression is a lot longer and that is worse for detonation.

atticus1398, it's cool, guess I misinterpreted your tone.
Turfburn, I agree with you about spikes being dangerous at low rpms and that is what I saw happening. However, it would not hold the spike for too long. It would just stick up there for a few seconds, then drop down to around where it was supposed to be (10-11psi) before reaching 6000 rpm.

Turfburn could you please explain in detail, the process of nuclear fission.
J/K, is there anything you DONT know, lol.
That is why I am definately going with the Microtech when the time comes!

There are many many things I don't know to be sure! And I'm wrong often enough too... but nuclear fission is easy... it is a sustainable and controlled (in the case of a nuclear power platn.. uncontrolled in an A-Bomb... Fusion is used in the H-Bomb)... atomic reaction in which "stray" neutrons are used to cause the nucleus of other "massive" atoms (typically Uranium or plutonium) to then split from that impact.. which in turn releases more stray neutrons and the process continues. Due to the energy contained in those bonds and the mass that disappears resulting in a release of energy as well, a great amount of heat is generated which is then used for various purposes.. typically heating of water when used in a power plant....
I loved that stuff when I was a kid

i think its cool that you know how to use an oscillascope

my only problem is that the 440 injector map is on their "to do list". once my block arrives, I will need more fuel. Do you have the microtech packaged with injectors, or recommend injectors?
sorry for the T/J

They're waiting on me actually. Once I can source injectors that are a direct fit I'll go back out there. I'd rather not run spacers w/ RC's, but I might end up doing that. The only place that has spacers from what I'm told is HiBoost (what RC said), but they won't return messages.
atticus1398 said:
Word is the 2003 Mustang GT 550CC injectors fit in ok with some spacers... spacers are easy to do, and you can buy what you need directly from the likes of mcmaster.com
We don't package with injectors, but I can get RC injectors or the like for you to make your life easier, but not anything that I carry or make money on.

The Unichip is safe as is from everything I've heard. I don't use it so I can't vouch past that... but the JandS will give you additional protection for situations where you get bad gas, or an injector fails, or fuel pressure or pump drop, or temperatures skyrocket etc... so yes it would be safer.
