It depends on the tune you ordered it with.

Throw it away.

^ fifth injector size depends, like Felix said. I don't know how you find out what the injector CC/Min is, unless you can find a part number on it.

The Unichip is pre-tuned for a specific setup (turbo boost at a given load) and adds fuel and pulls timing accordingly. It's all pre-programmed and only an authorized Unichip tuning shop has the stuff to re-tune it for your specific setup.

I had a Unichip with the Alpine S/C kit on my BetaII Tib for two years after I installed the kit and it never ran right. First Unichip crapped out, Alpine replaced it and said they changed the tune a little. Still didnt run good, then that Unichip died too. Alpine was in the middle of moving to CO so I sent directly to Unichip. They sent me a new one with my Alpine tune loaded on it. Still didn't run good. Talked with John at Alpine, sent it to him to get the tune changed again and got a smaller pulley. Still ran like crap, It was way too rich through midrange with the 5th injector, it ran better with the 5th injector unhooked, just couldn't run it hard that way.

I finally took the Unichip off, stuck it in a box and put it on a shelf and forgot about it. There are no Unichip tuners anywhere near me. In March of 07 I installed one of the new AEM FIC units, put a set of larger primaries in and tossed the 5th injector. I couldn't believe this was my Tib. I missed two years of driving fun screwing around with the Unichip. Finally it runs like it always should have. No generic tune, set it up for my car in my location. Put a little smaller pulley on the S/C, 8 to 9 lbs of boost, no driveability issues and it pulls great.

The Unichip is most likely preset to use 290cc/min injectors, with a 630cc/min 5th injector. But who knows.

Well mine was preset with stock injectors+the 630cc injector... So it could be one of the two.
