Drivetrain What about the other ECU's
#27
Yes....there are several OBDII plug in ECU tuning modules out there. But none of them will offer any kind of custom tuning capabilities as the Unichip does. You can take your car car with the Unichip to an authorized tuner and have your car dyno-tuned on the spot. The only other kind that allows you to do that are the software map tunes available.

and as a side note you can always return to "stock" because the stock map is saved on the "box".
I know this is true because I had it done with my WRX.

PES tuning is now doing their own chip-tuning. They used to use GIAC files, but have diversified. Their catalog does not show all applications, and they do great custom work. Tony is a great guy to work with.
When I'm not in my Mini, I drive a Lotus Elise. PES is one of the two tuners to crack the Lotus codes, and their software really transformed the car's drivability.

I see that allot of people are speculating here. I actually am one of the few people that have the ALTA/ UNI Chip installed. I can say it makes a HUGE difference! The PnP version will be very easy to install and uninstall. The fact that ALTA will send a new unit to you when you upgrade is awesome. You will have no down time between new software uploads. If anyone is in my area i'd be glad to show them the results.

Do you know the haltech interceptor?
The Haltech Interceptor is a totally new “piggy back” ECU designed to work in parallel with your existing factory ECU.
The Interceptor provides tuning of fuel mixtures, ignition timing, boost levels and many other features. The Haltech Interceptor is installed using a universal type wiring loom and tuning is performed on a laptop with user friendly Interceptor software for Windows. As the Haltech Interceptor works with the factory ECU, you need only tune where necessary, maximising power whilst maintaining factory levels of economy, idle quality, cold start etc.
I send an email asking for the R56 and they said.........
The new cooper s is due to be supported with the Interceptor very soon.
I will wait for this....
