    So I have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to and if anyone on here knows I'd appreciate the help. Do you have to use high octane fuel for performance chips?specifically the unichip

    Unichip have different maps for 91 and 93 octane. You can change the map with a switch.

    All depends on the tune and how much added timing there is. There would likely be a disclaimer saying to do so.
