Default UTEC or ECUTEK, help!!!

I have an STI02 with all the basic mods, now I need remapping and I dont know what to do.I see a lot of people do Ecutek, but what I dont like is that anytime I should add something to the car I have to go and remap again, on the other hand with UTEC from turbo xs I can change mapping thru a laptop accordingly to the mods I add everytime.What to do?Which one is better and why?Thank you for the help....

do you have any knowledge of engine mapping? if the answer is no then UTEC wouldnt be wise......

Leave it to the experts.

Yes, my brother is a machanical engineering and he could do the mapping for me, as he did on my old evo5, what I dont get is why most people still choose ecutek over the turbo xs device.

and also you can do exactly the same with ecutek if you bought the full thing....

UTEC seems to be used in the US loads, but not over here.....no idea why, as if you read Nasioc.com then its all over it! very odd

I see, I guess I can go with Utec, as it can also allow you to switch on the go 5 different settings, while ecutek only 2, and that is after you spent about $800 for the dash display.So as long as utec can work well(well mapped on a dyno with all due monitoring) if nobody else tell me otherwise I will go for UTEC.

go for it if your confident enough. Theres no reason why not, after all its an ecu like any other. Does it have the ability to retard itself as ecutek does?
