Plugged in the maf and went to pick up the gf with the lights still flashing.
It seemed that the engine reved more freely and although I didnt get on it to hard, the accelleration seemed better also. (the 600 bucks I spent on it may have influanced my perception) Too soon to tell about milage of course
Now how do I reset the cel and other lights? I may be forced to read the rest of the instructions
First impressions are improved performance, but nothing overwhelming. I am on the low octane map at the moment. May go out after a shower and dinner to get better fuel and try some harder runs. Any opionions about octane boosters?
Dumb question, but is the ECU located inside of the engine bay and not behind the the glove box like Generation 1? I just haven't looked for the ECU before. So is the Unichip mounted in the engine bay?
