Unichip Custom Tuner big numbers 33hp&32ftlbs

Holy tuner horse power Batman Is that really true, can I get 33hp with this Unichip? Thats alot better than custon tuners isn't it?


Adds up to 17hp & 10ft-lb with no-bolt"s , up to 33hp & 32ft-lb with undersize pulley & intake
Easily plugs into the stock ECU & ECU harness in minutes , no programming necessary.
Realizes the full potential of Aftermarket add-on's like Cold-Air-Intakes & exhaust systems , as each kit comes pre-mapped for the exact set-up of each car or truck.

I have never heard anything good about the Uni-chip.

Custom tuners CAN get you more than 33hp.

The wording may be interpreted as Unichip+CAI+pulley can yield up to 33hp.

If you read around you will see that every MINI is different.

Aw, come on you guys -- you're just wanting to have a little Friday fun with this one, aren't you! We all know that a canned program written about a thousand miles away from the car in which it will be installed can achieve almost any miraculous result. Having had a Unichip before my RMW tune, I'd say that 33hp is a bit conservative...
Haha

come on, that can't be on top of the 15% pulley and the other common mods?

Well, I saw 2 cars get +40whp in El Paso. One with just injectors and a tune, the other with a cam, injectors and tune. So, it is possible, for sure.
I got +20 with injectors (380-->550) alone.

I was like man I have never heard of unichip making that much power! Yeah custom tuning is really the way to go. With the release of the rmw remote tune and soon to be released mynes remote tune you cant go wrong. I think the unichip was pretty expensive as well...

I got 49.9 WHP with my Jan Tune.
Unichip - a decent door stop, nothing else. I owned one with great frustration for almost a year - could never get a custom tune from anyone! Though many were promised.
