What's the price difference for the other units? On my last turbo project I went with a Haltech and regretted dropping the extra $$ versus the cheaper unit -- I got little benefit and harder tuning. Just trying to get my list nailed down of what I'm buying for my TT project.

That was years ago, though, and was a totally different car.

+1 on going with fcon, a standalone is miles better than utec. (Which is fine imo for stock block builds and some very mild build engines)
