After much poncing about,toying with the idea of spending thousands on an ECU or getting a second hand tek2 I have decided to book in with Dastek in Dalgety bay to have a unichip fitted.Anybody fell strongly enough to talk me out of it or are they as good idea as their sales blurb would suggest

 

Judge, No personal experience but there was a thread on here a few weeks ago, generally it seems that anybody thats been there says it looks very professional and the results have been pretty good aswell. Hope that helps.

Cheers John,yeah I read that thread too,it helped with my decision I must say.

 

Any ideas on price for a MY99 UK Turbo??

Do they have set prices one their website or not?? Actually, what is their address...

Purely out of interest at the moment, however sometime in the furure, who knows!!

Cheers,
Grant

 

Hi Grant,the price I was quoted for MY99 UK was £564 all in (Including rolling road mapping and vat)

They are trading under the name of Storm Engineering and are in the Hillend trading estate in Dalgetty bay. Tel 08453454045

V helpful guys.

 

I was seriously giving this some thought last summer. I was quoted £400+vat at their stand at a Knockhill HH day last season. Let us know how your car performs after you get it done. If you think it's worth the expense then I'll definitely get it done myself.

 

What was the quoted power and torque they were aiming for? At under £600 thats a very good price...may need to phone em...lmao any bets as to the bugeye being more expensive to map etc

Was out at Dastek a couple of weeks back, impressed with their setup Rollers read slightly higher fly figures than Star's (3-5% on my car) and the wheel figures tied up with what the rest of the world regard as drivetrain losses (on RWD anyway).

Gerry and Co. couldn't have been better when we were there, so I'm sure they will do whatever they can to get the best from your car.

 

Got mine booked in for saturday morning to get a wee check up. Getting the idle lifted and check out the launch control setting.
Let you know more on Sat evening. Seems to be all good so far. The guys only set the car up till its running the best power and is safe. They don't give you big power and problems to go with it. When I got the car it was 310 bhp but was leaning a little so the compromise was 297bhp and safe.

HI SOOB

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Could be cause for a "group buy" at some point in the future

me thinks..........

 

I might be wrong but doesn't the Unichip installation involve cutting into the ECU wiring harness?

Apart from the reliability implications doesn't this mean that it's a custom install and difficult to remove in the future.

I'd rather go for an ECUTEK, at least then the ECU is standard and could be removed (swapped) & resold in the future.

Just my ramblings...... Mark

 

Yeah that is a fair point but there are pro and cons of any mod to the engine management I'm sure you would agree.Dastek just suits my requirements at the moment and that is why I have decided to go with them.I am booked in for the 10th Feb so I will let you know how it goes,good or bad.
