Because no two cars are identical it is impossible to predict just how far from perfect the vehicle will be before fitting the Unichip. Some cars are closer than others and therefore the results will vary. On some cars you may get better fuel consumption but maybe not much more power. On others the increase in power might be good but the fuel consumption might remain the same. Some might get a lot of improvement in drivability. In most cases you should be able to improve all of the above. It all depends on how close to perfect the car's existing map is for that particular vehicle.
We promise the customer that the car will be as light as possible on fuel when he drives calmly and it will make as much power as possible when he puts his foot flat on the accelerator. We also promise him that if within three months he feels that it is not worth having the Unichip we will remove it and refund him the full amount, including installation and mapping fee. We do not make any other promises.
We strive to promise less but do more.
The Unichip has been installed in several thousand new vehicles as an option on new cars by various brands. Most manufacturers have used the Unichip technology on their factory racing cars or economy run vehicles.
However, some manufacturers may not approve of such (or other) alterations to a new vehicle so the best will be to contact the dealership through which you bought your vehicle or the one that services it and get approval from them before doing so.
If you so choose you can also opt for the U-connect option in which case you can add or remove the system whenever you want.
The only difference between the Unichip installation and the U-connect Plug 'n Play system is the wiring harness that enables this installation without cutting or interfering with the original wiring.
You simply unplug the original ECU wiring and install this system between the male and female plugs. All the necessary original male and female plugs are included in the harness.
The ultimate result is “once removed” no footprint or trace of the original installation at all. Unlike other systems there is no tampering with the vehicles’ ECU or wiring.
This will greatly depend on what type of vehicle it is and what options you require. 90 % of all installations will be completed within a day.
Then lastly and most importantly, the Unichip is a tuning tool used by professional tuners. All tuners don’t have the exact same skill level and you can expect to
pay somewhat more if the Unichip is installed and custom mapped for your vehicle by one of the top tuners in the business. The Unichip is
to a tuner what paint and brushes are to an artist. Even though two artists might use the same paint and brushes, you will not get the same
picture from both. They will most probably also not cost the same amount of money. A Unichip installed and custom mapped by a top tuner will
most likely give you better results than one that is custom mapped by an in-experienced tuner.

The Pedal booster is a user selectable function. This optional extra can be switched on or off by the driver as desired.
It is similar to the Sports mode in some high end sports cars (like the M button on some BMW). The sports mode will give the best throttle response but might not give the best fuel consumption. The throttle response will be more but not the horse power. In normal mode the Unichip will be tuned for optimum consumption at light throttle.
No, the pedal booster will only give better throttle response.
It depends on a lot of technical aspects of the electronic system. For example, 1. type of boost control, 2. Can bus system, 3. Injector drivers Exc.
Some vehicles the chip works better where some the software, and on some both are equal.
