Al Bundy in respose to your questions I can confirm that the APS Phase 1 kits do increase fuel economy. On my vehicle it is between 5-10% if you drive in a similar manner to before......As to the power just have a look at the dyno graph at the APS web site. I can confirm it's accuracy as that is my dyno chart. If you can get a chance to drive a T with a Phase 1 kit you wont be able to book the car in quick enough. :lol: Warranty is another issue. Depends on your dealer. If you want to get into the legalities then the modification must be proven to have caused the failure for the warranty to not be honoured but if it gets to that point, GOOD LUCK! Have a talk to APS or a distributor about the best time to fit. I think they were saying around 7000km is ideal but mine was done earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fittet a stage 1 Unichip to my car and I don't measure my economy, but I can say that the Klm to empty (after filling the car to the top) in standard form used to give between 510 - 540, after fitting the UNICHIP it tells stories of anywhere between 408 (lowest) and 504 (highest) All the UNICHIP did for me was create lots of drama for very little gain I'm not saying the product is bad (perhaps it's the installer, (they don't seem very intetrested after they've got your $2000) Mate it all frustrated me enough to get rid of the car at 7000 klm. I would say if your going to install anything check out Lachlan Riddel at Chiptorque. I used him to make a VL Turbo go real quick in the early 90s. What I got was good service, good advice, a fair price and a car that went like hell. BE VERY CAREFUL, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF EXPENSIVE FALSE PROMISES OUT THERE.
