about to make the plunge, but am curious about problems? has anyone that has this chip, had problems
Well, I have one. It is tuned for Airaid Cold Air Intake and, a TRD Cat-Back exhaust system. I definately noticed the power increase(put a smile on my face). It works well on both the A and B map settings(NO Check Engine Light). I pump 92 Octane, premium fuel. I must admit, sometimes, not always, I can detect slight slight power "spikes" if I gradually increase throttle from a "dead stop" and then "nail" the accellerator. But after that small spike in throttle response, it pulls HARD and Healthy, up to redline(rev limiter kicks in), every gear! I hope this explaination makes sense to you. But to tell you the truth, to me, its not an issue I'm worried about or, MUST get fixed, asap. I can live with it because it is very subtle and occasional. I figure, maybe a "custon" Dyno Tune on the Unichip, would work that out, to a smooth linear response. Or, I might try some 102 Octane next week, and see if it still "pops up". But the 102 octane fuel is far from my house(approx. 45 miles) and I don't know the price of it right now. In a sentence: I would buy a Unichip for my FJ, AGAIN !! I HAVE 5674 MILES ON MY FJ. I INSTALLED THE CHIP @ 5284 MILES. MY FJ IS A 2007 with Manual Trans. Hope I was of some help. Take care.
