Default your opinions: emanage (blue) vs. utec.

im soon going to install nitrous on the car. i plan on eventually bumping up the shot to like 100-125 and ive heard its a good idea to tune at taht point.
i ALREADY HAVE a blue emanage with ignition harness, injector harness, absolute pressure sensor, sensor harness, support tool.
i installed it into my turbo civic which im now parting out, should i keep the emanage and use it for the Z down the road when i up the nitrous? or should i sell it for a few hundred and put that towards utec?
im just unsure of how reliable emanage is for tuning nitrous as ive heard its used mostly for boosted applications. any help and opinions are appreciated.

The UTEC is in a whole difference class, vs. the eManage blue. You COULD use the blue for your nitrous setup, but the UTEC is vastly superior, more consistent, and safer.

i figured i would post in tuning not nitrous becaus although nitrous is a factor the question is greatly dependant on the tuning capabilites and functions of these units.

Just fyi, you won't get a few hundred from the blue - I paid about $100 for mine w/ the main and injector harnesses, got the ignition plug from best buy (it's the same as an early '90s Mazda radio plug), and a usb-usb clone cable for $50.

I like the Blue, and you can use it for nitrous if you want to either run one map w/ retarded timing always, or keep your laptop handy for changing maps when you need to.
