The UNICHIP simply couldn't be retuned.After 4 days of watching a mechanic being driven to the edge of insanity the car locked itself into limp mode and that was it, my ford service dept then found that all the codes had come up in the computer, and that a wire which controls the cam timing had come off underneath it's cover (not visable or detectable without a FORD diagnostic programme.This is what FORMAZ in Perth did.1) Lent me a car.2) Spent a week trying to find the gremlin.3) A mechanic stayed late two nights in a row.4) Stood calmly and patiently in the face of my frustration.5) Wasted a week of their time and then even offered me a full refund when they didn't have to.6) When Ford diagnosed the problem, FORMAZ offered to put the bigger injectors back in at no extra charge. Compared to the excuses and fairy tales one usually gets when a mechanical workshop hits a snag, these guys are saints. Bearing in mind that this was an unknown problem on a relatively newly developed car, they didn't give up and they didn't try to fob me off. I might not supposed to do this on the forum, and at risk of a warning I will say to all you other western T owners that if you want mods or a UNICHIP in WA go to FORMAZ. Thanks Kevin and Tyson, your patience and persistance has been much appreciated, and man am I looking forward to that 300+ kWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also toying of going down this road.Scotty Hi all, I kept a low profile last week waiting in nervous anticipation of my car never going again. The injectors that FORMAZ use are the same as NIZPRO they fit straight into the standard rail. The car is getting it's new diff today and back to FORMAZ tomorrow for the injectors, then I'll get the part numbers etc and post for all to see, they cost approx $120 each with GST (don't quote me they could be cheaper). If you ring Kevin or Tyson at FORMAZ they have already told me they will supply or supply/fit for whoever, you can call them on 08 93315599.
