one of the moderators really should put a sticky on the tubonator issue although they're making money on the advertising and probably don't want to dis a product that they allow on this site, however there has been at least 3 or 4 treads started on this with the same result, I had one in one of my previous cars and did nothing I'm sure that they still do nothing

that really sucks that a site I come to for advise on my car is putting up bogus mods for the sake of the $$.

Ehhh but you have to understand that in order for this site to continue, they probably need the $$. Webspace is not free.

its called an advertisement, its like on tv before they show an informercial they say the network is not responsible for claims made by the manufacture

The Unichip I have leans out the A/F ratio which gives you a little more horsepower and better gas mileage. I can get somewhere around 32-34mpg highway driving with luggage in the trunk and I don't exactly drive like a grandma. City driving I get about 24mpg, again thats driving with a bit of a lead foot (not hitting redline or VTEC all the time, but not driving as conservatively as some people).

With a custom tune for the Unichip I could probably squeeze some extra horsepower out of it (it sortof weakens the power a bit in the VTEC range) at the cost of some mpg.

You can find out more about the Unichip here: http://www.unichip.us/

I believe the only application that was made was for the Type S though, none was ever made to work with the TL-P although with enough people, they will do it.

Why don't you make a donation, then? I'm sure they will be glad to take it down for you if you contributed.

It's perfectly fine, because we all know it doesn't work, and none of us will get scammed. Meanwhile, the site makes money off of it. It's not like the AZ staff is out to actually sell bullshit parts to its members.
