High Performance PartsA Piggyback Chip Is One Of The Best High Performance Parts While traditional high performance parts still play a large role, the whole shebang is now fine-tuned electronically to work together in harmony. These efforts, however, often proved very expensive or invasive. A performance engine management system often meant that you had to throw out your existing (factory) management system and replace it with an aftermarket system. Later, shrewd tuners discovered that they could reprogram the vehicle's existing ECU to accept modified performance parameters – however, this means the original program settings would be lost. Now there is a new way to get the most out of your vehicle's engine management system. A piggyback computer chip is the happy compromise everybody had been hoping for and it turns out it is no compromise at all. The piggyback chip is installed under your vehicle's bonnet and does not replace any existing parts. The installation is non-invasive, as the chip's only purpose is to intercept the existing signals from the engine's ECU and manipulate them to achieve what was previously only possible through a replacement system or reprogramming. The groundbreaking Unichip is such a piggyback chip and possibly the best available today. Choose from a selection of maps, with performance maps optimising power delivery at full throttle, economy maps optimising economy at part throttle and customisable maps to limit factors like turbo boost and revolutions for when you leave your vehicle at a dealer. Unichip does it all and is the ultimate of the high performance parts. Contact us. Back To Performance Articles | |
