Basically I think you need - rather than changing the signals going to the ECU and back out - to change the set of values the ECU is 'learning' to. The Unichip can't do that - Henk (and others who remap these engines) can.
I think they term the coding on the ECU as 'open', in that it's not a set of hard and fast instructions, more an intelligence and working out best from the parameters it has set versus the values the sensors tell it. As such I think Unichips are better at dealing with more primitive 'closed'...

Wheels are staying. They're fantastic for cleaning, fantastic for the ride and performance (low unsprung weight) and the standards won't go anywhere near it because the brakes are about the same size.
Brakes can pull your face off. Truly phenomenal stopping power! I knew it wasn't going to be everyone's bag but it suits me fine! Plenty of go, plenty of character and loads of smiles!
