Absolutely true about dealers, you can run the wiring so that it is unnoticeable for unless the dealer was really taking things apart. When I had a piggyback it was placed low and out of sight, if there is enough cable length then you could even place it inside the cabin with you and run the wire out to the ECU. The real gains with this are when you start bolting on other parts and then retune the car.I don't understand why people are cracking on this piggyback so much. So what if it only gives ur car 6 more horse if ur running stock.... hardly anyone that's gonna be running this system will have a stock engine setup anyway. If you have say an exhaust, lightweight pulley, high flow cat and an intake you'll see more then 6 horse... I'd really consider this even if u do have to splice wires where I am in Florida dealerships are stupid and probably wouldn't even notice it.. just my 2 cents

Exactly I mean if ur considering this mod it should definitely be one of the last you do. Now Idk how this piggyback compares to a normal Ecu reflash but judging from the dyno read assuming that the dynos some what variable, I'd say ud get very good results when compared to a standard reflash just from my own experience with other vehicles I've tuned but I mean I could be wrong but until some one try's this with some additional mods we can only really assume and go by what the vender claimsAbsolutely true about dealers, you can run the wiring so that it is unnoticeable for unless the dealer was really taking things apart.

I don't know if this unit can change your timing or not, you would have to move timing in order to take advantage of 91. I upgraded to a piggy at one point that did change timing when I had a whole NA set up with headers, intake, pulley, and exhaust. I had it tunned after all the parts were installed and jumped about 10 extra HP. The SX4 baselined at 95WHP, then before a tune it was around 128WHP, then I hit 138WHP before I just turbo'd the car.One question I got is if running 91 octane gas on top of say all the bolt on mods will help you get even more horse or torque out of this unit. Their site says it can run on 87 but I'd think running on a better fuel would help the fuel curves a little
