Feedback Request for Unichip Perfomance

i'm sure many of you have had the unichip installed for sometime. i'm just wondering what your feedback is on the performance gains since you've had it installed.

i actually purchased my tls with the chip installed so i cant really compare before and after but i was thinking about having the chip removed or atleast turned off to improve my mpg. any thoughts???

I have had the Unichip installed on my 02-TLS for about 9 months. With a custom tune of the chip, I gained about 4-5 whp. Total cost of the chip was about $600.
Not worth the price for the gain. I don't think your mpg will increase any if you remove the chip. However, if the chip was not custom tuned for your car you fuel/air ratio may not be correct and cause predetonation. This was a common problem for the Unichips with the mapping from Unichip. If it was not custom tuned then I would unplug the chip.
