N14 piggybag

Anyone know or has experience about UniChip piggybag for N14? I am thinking to have it but would like to know about pros or cons about this think.

I never heard of a piggyback for the N14, but then again I traded mine 2 years ago so I'm not as up to date as I was. I know when I had it I complained that they made piggybacks for the N18, but not the N14.

We did some testing with the old N14 piggy backs and it's not worth it as the ECU will learn over it.
Go with a real tune as it will be more cost effective and much more gain.

Is that the same as the Plug-N-Play Unichip? I had one on my 09 N14. It was awesome until it would start killing the car wherever it felt like it...Rush hour...middle of the freeway at 70mph...you name it. Something about those complex bazillion-pin connectors just didnt work well with the Mini. Even sent it back in to be repinned. I think I just gave up and sold it on after that.
