Thats is strange. No one here recalls having anything regarding a sensor do you know who you talked to? We have a couple new receptionists and lately they have been sending our customers to the wrong department so we don't even know we have messages! Email us if you still need help at parts@trdsparks.com and we'll help you right away as you are used to

For the UNICHIP its taking us a while to get everything new on our site. We just added it as well as the new Descendant Turbo kits and a few other things. So we are waiting to get it all in order then announce these new things on the forums. We are doing a lot of internal upgrades and things like that so thats what the delay in the announcements is from.

Let us know if we can help with anything else!

Jamie

PS: I get my UNICHIP on Thursday! Woo Hoo!!!

This is odd, when I contacted Unichip about a base map for a supercharger they said it would have to be tuned. If they can pre-program to sc with add-ons this would sway my decision on which piggy-back to go with.
I feel the same way, I am looking at piggybacks right now, if they had a base map for the supercharger I would be getting theirs for sure.

The only other option would be take it to a UNICHIP Tuner and they can easily make you a base map for the S/C.

I see you have changed the description on your site, I knew it was too good to be true. Now the cost of a tune needs to be added to the price for anyone with a sc.

Of course! :-) Our webperson added the UNICHIP products to our site and copied the description from the Tundra and FJ/Tacoma which UNICHIP had Supercharger Tunes for which is why they were also on the Scion.

Did the price go up? I could have sworn it was listed for $450 a week or two ago. Now it says $495.

Nah it wasn't $450.00. But we did have to raise the price a little bit by about $20.00. We were told we were selling it too low, so we are required by the manufacturer to sell it at no less than a certain amount.

You can get it from Unichip for around $450. $495 + 10% discount code.

Sadly no. If there was a good tuner in central jersey you might even say there will be too much business cause this whole area has a ton of people helpless. Its sad. Ripp mods has peri and and when he goes out on the reserves there is nobody. If you car goes way out of tune you can't wait two weeks or four weeks

So $400+ for the same additional gains is worth the money to me. Especially since when you modify or make changes to your parts you can just update the file on the PnP and off you go again! I'm excited to get mine so I will make updates on what I think about it.

Did you install yet? How is the performance?

sparks, how are you marketing this product? Are you saying that there is a generic (real safe) tune on it and people are running it like that? For the unichip I would have thought getting it tuned on a dyno would be mandatory
