cougarcatman Member 8 Member For: 20y 9m 6d Posted 29/04/04 02:44 AM Share Posted 29/04/04 02:44 AM Peter,In an earlier reply to one of my questions in relation to a phase 1 addition you stated that the factory fitted exhaust would cope with the ph 1 kit but to increase kw's even further an aps exhaust should be fitted. Question: 1.Will the phase one increase kw to 300 and if the aps exhaust is fitted what would the kw output be?2.What is the retail price of the aps exhaust?

Not bad bang for buck value with plenty of potential to proceed furter. PeterAPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LOK@ChipTorque Guests Posted 29/04/04 08:20 PM Share Posted 29/04/04 08:20 PM turbo4wd,you can buy just the piggyback ECU on the APS kit. This is call the APC ecu only pack and is about $1650. If you want the (new) stage 1 kit it is about $2650 and includes injectors and ecu.All of the above is needed if/when you go to stage 2-3What I mean is can I buy just the unichip on its own for say $1100 but with a suitable map already loaded so I can just plug it in and get say 270kw?Hi Turbo4wd,Sorry slow reply hat on this week.You can buy an XEDE with a preloaded map for XR6T but, as stated above by Geea etc. we would recommend having it tuned individually to suit each car.Lachlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone heard about this or have any thoughts?From numerous people and writes ups on the net the common message about this company appears to be, "don't go there..."Although I have not dealt with this company myself, I would not recommend them. If your looking for just a chip and no further mods try APS (Unichip) or Chiptorque (Exede). If you wanted to go further there are a few companies offering products eg DNA motorsport, CAPA, AVO etc but my personal oppinion would be to stick to the two main players. They are both respected and reputed companies. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone heard about this or have any thoughts? I've had 2 turbo cars with 'chip' solutions in the past. If you have the choice between a chip and programmable piggyback ecu, I'd recommend the piggyback ecu any day.A generic chip map will most likely not match the attributes of our cars, which appear to be subject to large variations in output.For a chip to work effectively it must be tuned to the individual car on the dyno, and locked in place. Any change to any car components will probably render the chip less than optimal. A piggyback ecu is far more flexible in terms of tuning.Also, note the Powerchip is not a replacement chip, but actually a non-adjustable piggyback ecu, that plugs into the stock ecu, whereas "chips" I've used in the past were replacement ecus..... ref http://www.powerchipgroup.com/interact/dat...asp?pid=For0108 for details.I don't want to knock the product, it may suit some peoples needs, but not mine.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
