Just upgrading my chip and need some help with anyone who has these products. The Unichip claim a power gain to 280 fw/kw and the Xede however claims 300 fw/kw. Have spoke to both APS and Amberleys who supplies the Xede and they both talk highly about there products. Just confused what to go for.Thanks for your say guys.Regards,Rob...

Posted 14/10/04 10:35 AM Share Posted 14/10/04 10:35 AM There have been a few of these threads Rob, they usually end up in a sh*t fight somewhere around page 2-3.The chips are very similar. The main difference is the Xede can have 2 maps. The Unichip can have a 2nd ignition map for lower octane fuel I believe. It really comes down to who tunes it more than the chip itself. I choose the Xede with Amberley tuning it. I couldn't be happier, I also have times to back up my dyno charts. You'll have to come for a drive with me and experience both maps. then the choice will be easy. Geea.

EMS have just released a new one and the TSI is getting very good results showing higher power gains than either the Xede or Unichip. Also soon the new Advantage edit software is getting closer.I'm waiing just a little longer but what ever you choose you won't be dissapointed.my 2c worthmacka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13417-unichip-v-xede/#findComment-176238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jteale Guests Posted 14/10/04 10:51 AM Share Posted 14/10/04 10:51 AM I was also very confused about which way to leap ... but I don't think the chip is anywhere near as important as the tuner ...Better to speak to the tuner's and decide who you think will do a better job ...I am sure a war will start, but I personally went the APS path and I am having the Unichip fitted in a few weeks then on the way to Phase 2 down the track.I am sure whatever you do you will enjoy the T even more Cheers, Jason.
