Basically it takes the low voltage from the ecu and acts like a switching relay and switches the injectors on and off.

Re: which chip system?

Let your tuner install a bleed off tap to the waste gate to up the boost to 0.95 bar. Works very well but the map signal will have to get clamped with the Unichip. Should give you a 20% increase safely with exhaust gas temps well within the 750 deg limit.

Re: lpg conversions

There are very clever systems out there that run in conjuction with your oem management system using your lambda sensor for a fueling reference and switching over between fuel and gas seemlessly. Looked at bringing them in but the problem was the difference between LPD and autogas.

Re: Imported engines - any good?

The 3RZ engines range from R15000-20000 for used/imported unit. My first choice would be to redo your existing engine as you know what you you got. The only time i have experienced problems with those engines is when they have over heated. It then snowballs from there..... Otherwise I have seen them...
