Default Time to ditch my Greddy Emanage Blue

Well its been a few years since I originally did my Greddy turbo kit, I'm looking to go toward a full standalone, but I'm not quite sure what I should get, I want something good, but I don't need a bunch of features that I don't need, I've heard good things about Haltech but the price is up there. Can you guys enlighten me on some options?

All standalone's will run you in excess of $2k for just the EMS. Haltech is a new ECU and is proven to be a great one. Keep in mind that tuning for a standalone might be more expensive then say a piggyback.

You havent really told us any kind of information on you greddy setup. Hom much power are you putting down? How about going for a piggy back like a UTEC because it will be cheaper and handles 4-500hp great.

The car was dyno tuned at fftec, they are pretty well known in the bay area, I suppose a piggyback could get the job done, but I feel that the emanage blue doesn't have enough functions to get the best tune, btw I have the gretty tt kit with 6lbs boost, not planning to up the boost til I get some kind of ems

if ure running a stock block I would just stick with the Utec bc anyone will be able to tune that... but if u have too much free cash to spend, I would ask your tuner on what he is most comfortable tuning before jumping into a standalone that he nos nothing about.

HKS FCON VPro is good, but it requires a Pro Dealer to sell/tune it.

If you are on a budget, but want full control get an Osiris reflash, better than a UTEC or any other piggy back on the market. With the upgraded MAF sensor you can make power to around 550-600rwhp.

What are your goals for the car, any future plans? I know the limitations/frustrations of emanage, but why are you looking to upgrade? These questions would help give better recommendations.

Heres what I have so far

Greddy TT kit stock boost
Exedy twin plate clutch
Full greddy exhaust

I'm looking to upgrade because the emanage blue just doesn't have my car running as smooth as I'd like it to, it is currently tuned very conservatively with more precise tuning I'm sure there is more power to be unlocked. the tuner didn't recommend going past stock boost because of these limitations

I just want something that is able to give me a good tune, after that I'm looking to spend more time/money on the suspension/brakes/lsd. its more of a long term project that I don't see myself getting rid of, it will more than likely get fully built at some point in its lifetime.
