Default AEM piggy back

Has anyone on here got one of these installed? What do you think of it, worth getting? Was planning on getting this chip some greddy plugs and a spacer fitted when i get home froom work, the car already has a induction kit and exhaust.

I would consult your intended tuner and ask what they prefer to work with.

For a plug and play piggyback, the UTEC is tough to beat. Anyone with any failiarity with engine management tuning will be able to easily work through it. The other option would be one of the several reflash options out there, but that initially required you to send your ecu across the pond, and then future tunes are done remotely, not in real time

it's easier than the utec believe me. done both recently(both first time installs and tune)....the wiring is a ***** mate but more user friendly than the utec. utec has nice futures but it's software outdated and no real time tuning. you don't need more than a aem staying N/A.

Think im ill just go with the AEM, can always change it at a later date. The car should be going in to the garage in about 3 - 4 weeks. Getting a plenum spacer and also some greddy plugs.
