Any advantages or disavantages of both the rmw tune or unichip tune? Im interested in both and cant make up my mind. I have aftermarket exhaust, intake, intercooler, and boost tubes. Which is best overall?

 

RMW.

Unichip is a bit generic and somwhat primative.

 

Go RMW over Unichip all day long!!! Unichip gives P115d codes.... No solution found yet, except removing the Unichip $800.00 wasted

 

+1

 

rmw it is! thanks for the input i live in texas though so can anyone tell me what i will need to do to get a rmw tune?

Read through the numerous posts here on NAM.

 

Just ordered an RMW tune myself, canned tune for now but will get the custom done when Jan is in the area again. CANT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT! should be flashed by this week!

 

No contest, RMW for the win!

 

Between those two options, RMW, however, if you want to go the Unichip route, I have one you can buy for a fraction of the original cost.

 

Flash tool has been delivered i cant wait to get home!

 

interested to hear your impression of the tune.

 

Lol holy bejesus, this is just the canned tune, I'm seeing 18- 20 psi some gears! I can't wait for the full custom session when he gets out here! Awesome tune, easily done.

 

what do you all think about the alta tune coming out? Im going to hold off on buying a tune to see a comparison of alta and rmw. I hope alta delivers bc nearly all my parts are alta

 

It would be nice to get Jan in our area for a tune session. Anyone trying to put together session in the Texas or Oklahoma area?

 

lol i would say i would hold off but... RMW has the word of mouth and the upper hand. His customer service was excellent. The man just got off a plane and managed to send me the canned tune within 30 minutes of me sending him mine. He didnt have to do that but he did so it says a lot. It will be interesting to see what can be made because no matter what tune you get, a canned tune will never compare to a individual tune. All cars are made differently. Custom sessions are what is best period. If one of the perrin guys can out tune JAN whom flies all over the country tuning minis and porsches etc. which i highly doubt, The perrin gig will be a success.


Hats off to Jan for service and quick turnover. Can't wait to meet him in person when he heads out this way.

 

It would be perfect if Jan came to our area! When i get get my mini back its getting tuned lol um.......if my parents let me. I've got the money but im 18 and they dont think i need the hp.....gay!! I'll convince them that competition at the track is starting to catch up with all my current mods

 

you probably dont lol ....


Whats your parents number im gonna call em and tell them what your up to you hooligan!

 

Should take a good driving course to learn how to manage the balance and physics of the car before you get it all juiced up. Skill will get you our of a hairy situation before power does.

either way enjoy your mini SAFELY

 

lol my dad loves driving my car on the track so that might help besides what's one more mod added to my growing list?

 

I have taken performance driving courses and spent time with an instructor both on the track and on the skid pad in not only my car but various others as well at MSR Houston since my uncle happens to own part of the track

 

lol that one mod out weighs all the others by far... the Tune in any boosted car is the heart of it all

 

I'm sure there will be even more if I can find some time to dig into the code deeper..... I found some more maps this weekend......... I wish I had full time engineers doing it for me

 

Now just need the intercooler so after a few hard pushes it doesnt heat soak lol.

Need some canned c02 to spray haahahaha, oldchool cyclone days.

 

To the OP: forget the Unichip, I am still listed as a dealer for them, but have had ZERO luck getting them to work and I'm stuck with a hefty investment on garbage. Jan tuned my personal car as well as those of some of my best customers. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

 

Just a follow up. I ended up getting the alta tune and holy crap! I saw a 37 hp increase and 63 ft-lbs of torque increase on the dyno
