I have a Unichip and I want to lend it to someone for a week. I will help with install/uninstall. If you meet the qualifications below and want to borrow this then PM me.

Qualifications:
1. must live in San Diego, Orange County, or Los Angeles.
2. Must be a very active member here, and familiar to me.
3. Must have an aftermarket header and catback. Bonus points if you have no cat. Bonus points if you are running the PPE setup.

Story:
I bought this from a member here. It's supposedly tuned for H/I/E. After installing it, my motor stalls at idle, and cuts out temporarily at higher engine speeds. I need to figure out if it's an issue with the Unichip or my car. My car runs fine without it.

I tried contacting Unichip for help, but they will not respond to me.

Disclaimer:
You may experience the same issues as me. It won't leave you stranded, but it will be annoying to deal with. The unit can be installed and uninstalled in minutes. The good news is, if the chip works for you then you get to enjoy a more powerful Spyder for a week! Yay!

Why not go get it tuned to your setup? It's not that expensive for NA bolt-ons. Probably an hour charge. You just have to find someone that does it. I got my tune at Church, which is pretty close to you, but I don't know if he does Unichip.

I don't know if it is a tune issue, or an electrical connection issue, or an issue with my car. I may pay for a tune only to find out the Unichip is no good. Also, last I heard Church no longer tunes the Unichip. Shame.

Thanks!
I'll contact you if I can't work something out with Im_In_San_Fran. He's a little closer.

My Spyder isn't street legal, so swapping it--while a good idea-- isn't feasible because I couldn't test it on my car. However, since you are currently using a Unichip your car is a good testbed. Let's meet up for lunch somewhere. Know any good places in LA? I'll PM you with my number.
