I believe further is...

Nope, don't think so unless its not listed. Quick check of Unitronics site and Chicago is gonna be your closest bet.

Craig is right. I've talked with Mike or Mike about this before. Further will send stuff out and deal with Unitronic for you, but they are not a dealer. Unitronic is, for whatever reason, very costly to the shop that becomes a dealer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Mike.

The nearest Unitronic dealer is Mobile One Inc. in the windy city.

Mobile One Inc

can i ask why uni, vs say APR or Revo?

and craig was correct, we are not a dealer. i do have a relationship with Mobile One Inc down in chicago for handling Uni if need be though.

and i am working on getting set up with them, but they frown on their dealers also handling APR in our case. so trying to work around that now.

From what I recall of my research, Unitronic claimed the largest HP & TQ increase on the 1.8t over APR and REVO.

I also read that their drivability was not quite as good as the other 2. Not to mention the neat program selector option with APR.

And they are more money too, no?

[BimmerTim]

APR 93oct - 215hp / 247lb-ft - $449

REVO Stage1 - 207hp / 232lb-ft - $399

Unitronic 93oct - 225hp / 260lb-ft - $550


All numbers taken directly from their websites.

God I'm bad at being more clear. Totally forgot that Davis went through Mike for his Uni.

APR 93oct - 215hp / 247lb-ft - $449

REVO Stage1 - 207hp / 232lb-ft - $399

Unitronic 93oct - 225hp / 260lb-ft - $550

And I would say you could expect to be anywhere withing ~5% of any of those power numbers. There are so many factors that go into 1.8T performance it would be impossible to say for certain what a particular chip will give you.

Not to mention, they way the power comes on with these things, you would not be able to tell the difference if you drove them back to back. One might be smoother than the other, but they will likely feel equally as strong.

UNI is much more friendly when it comes to custom tunes for BT applications. Seems like anyone that goes outside the K03/K04, jumps on the unitronic boat at least for the mkv 2.0t.

100% truth

Yea a lot of the 1.8T BT guys use uni as well. If I ever do go BT I will more than likely use Unitronic.
