I was recommended to go with the UTEC instead of the E-manage. I understand the UTEC is a lot better engine management system but is it worth the extra money for stock boost? I have the kit, bov, fuel pump, hf cats, plenum, (getting exhaust) but I'm sticking to stock boost. Will the e-manage be enough to keep my engine safe (assuming they tune it conservatively...a little on the rich side)???
Thanks

 

Not worth the extra money for stock boost or even a little higher, Emanage Blue is not tht bad and the best thing sis that it can communicte with the e01 controller.

 

UTEC!!!! Has proven it self to be the best engine management that works with the stock ecu!! I have it for sale pm me if intrested!!

 

if you leave it at stock boost then dont even bother with the utec. If im correct the Utec was built to be used with high horsepower cars that need every bit of tuning possible to squeeze every ounce of power out of the set up the e-manage blue was made for the kit to have it at low boost levels now one thing i recommened is a J&S safegaurd which is an extra 500 bucks but it allows you to to retard timming you really wont need it at five pounds but if you want to be on the safe side you can get it. And also the utec needs a very experienced tuner just becouse it has somany things to play with that an error could be fatal.

 

utec is great! really don't think u need it for stock applications. more for extensive motor work. just my 2 cents

 

i agree. stick w/ the e-manage
