There's a reason there's a huge market for the "z-tube" amongst the g35 crowd.

That being said for an NA 350z ecutek and uprev are both doing the exact same thing. No benefit to switching. Just ecutek is new and offers an ap and Bluetooth flashing, which most professional tuners do not want. If something interrupts the flash midway bad things happen... uprev started developing this years ago then dropped it to retain the solid cable interface.

Considering Uprev's recent move to include the ARC features for free with the reflash license (as it should have been originally!!) There is zero reason to use ecutek over uprev for an NA vq35de. (350z or g35).

I've had several in the last decade of business with them, and even though I've spent well over $10k with them, they always try to make it my fault, or say I'm lying.

Isn't that going to be the case for all cars without the factory Widebands? Or at least that's what I understood.

Yeah, my 04 is tuned on Uprev my Moncef. What I was referring to is the early 04s not being compatible with EcuTek.

2004 350z. Upgraded CAI and cat back exhaust, stock cats, level 1 tune.
last question after reading the rest of the forums does your Z had narrowband 02 sensors or did it come with wideband?
