For those of you using the TRD or GM S/C, what are you using to tune with?My real question being, do you use a piggyback such as the EManage only? OR do you use that, as well as a wideband A/F meter??I was told that I would need an Apex'i Power FC as well as a Innovate Motorsports wideband O2 controller. Is this correct? I don't want to buy more than I need. Since I thought that the PFC was a full replacement for my ECU and would also control the A/F ratios.

I have the Unichip piggy back. The s/c kit comes with a pre-programed piggy back that works alright. A little rich, but fine for tooling around town. Anything stand-alone is just over kill. And you dont need a wide band a/f gauge. A narrow band is enough.

Anything stand-alone is just over kill. And you dont need a wide band a/f gauge. A narrow band is enough. I am going the same route as Lancer, i.e. Unichip mapped for my mods. Hope to have it installed this month. Found it to be pretty effective when I was NA, smooth power through out the entire RPM, very flat torque curve etc. I expect the same results with the SC. I'm also considering the SplitSec Split Second AIC1-A1L additional injector controller in conjunction with the UniChip in the future.As Lancer stated, the Unichip is fine for a daily driver.

Only a slightly different ecu. Just tell the Unichip peeps what you have and they'll get what you need. (hopefully. they do have 'special' people working there! )What are your goals for your car?

I'll give it a try, wouldn't hurt to find out if they could make something.I'm not sure exactly what my goals are right now. I would like to hit as close as I can to 200whp. I also have a whole wish list of parts I plan on buying. Mostly, I guess I want it more for show than for go, but this S/C will add that extra go I need!!

A guy at Unichip named Jack has been extremely helpful for me. Always replies quickly, seems pretty knowledgable. Here's his e-mail addess.jjones@unichip.usLet u sknow how things work out....
if youre street tuning the pfc yourself you need a wideband.if a shop is doing it on a dyno then no. if unichip doesnt have a celica harness it will still work but will need to be hardwired in
look my sniggies, i had a strizz-oke in my brizz-ain okay,you know what im saying. so i cant move all good. but thanks for mentioning that .thank you very much.athf4evr. click here! you know you want to!!!
