Uprev doesnt control boost, so make sure you factor that into your pricing as well.
My UTEC was tuned properly and ran great. The dont buy a UTEC crowd is almost completely comprised of people that have never tuned/used one.
You can get a used UTEC for 500$ and self tune it easily. UPREV might be a little more refined at $700, but you dont get a boost control solution and electronic boost controllers with overboost control are not cheap.

Well ya I would get a boost controller. The uprev I was looking at was 500 off there website and speed and sound in stl can dyno tune with the uprev for 7-800. Anything is better than the tn reflash, ima go uprev, thanks guys

The main problems with UTEC are that most tuners either suck at tuning them or have never tuned them, and (2) they are finicky devices. I had so many electrical gremlins with (2) UTEC's (warrantied the first one but nothing changed) finally switched to Osiris and it's night and day difference in reliability and smoothness. We also got the idle and injector scaling dead on with Osiris, not possible on UTEC. True, UTEC has more safety features for boost applications (like overboost cut) but you'll likely blow sooner due to a crap/improper tune, not overboost.
