Unichip + Dyno Tune?

Hey Miguel, this is Dan. I sold you the turbo-back exhaust a few months ago. I suggest you goto I-speed if you need any installs/tuning done. They are simply the best Subaru garage in the Bay Area, IMHO. I've taken my car to other shops before I found out about them, and haven't been happy. Shiv overcharges people for his services. I-Speed charges a very fair hourly rate and gets the job done, and done right. They don't pressure you to buy a bunch of sh.it that you don't need. They don't purposely make you believe your car is weaker than it actually is so you waste more money on tuning/parts. They respect their customers, I cannot say the same about these "other" shops that you're considering. Just my .02

Yeah I guess people don't know. I have been incredibly busy with tuning in the past few or more months and no one even knows what I have been doing.
Yeah, I have been tuning for months straight now, day in and day out. That is what I do at I-Speed USA, besides being one of the owners. That is basically all I do now, except for golfing or seeing a movie hear and there. Got to have a life to you know. he he...

of course he isn't because mpj is NOT a tuner and in no way claims to be one. how many times must this be said?

We offer no tuning services what's so ever at this time. We are a parts and install shop we do offer other services such as motor build up, suspension setup and advice (we don't charge for the advice as it is likely wrong)
Just wanted to make sure we we're not depicted as EFI tuners such as the guys at I-Speed and Vishnu

I have to confess to liking to tinker here and there though..
DWNSHFT - Must have missed you mate (and your wife) as I was going to try and catch up with you on the ntercooler cause I could not make out the voicemail from you.
On the subject of UTEC, Ecutek and so on I will step out on a limb with my personal thoughts,
Ecutek - Perfect for those that don't want to be bothered with the intricacies of fuel and spark and the associated problems with learning on the job so to speak. Initial outlay depending upon chosen tuner should be less than that of the UTEC or full standalone although if your going to be modding gradually then may work out a little more in the end due to reflash costs above initial outlay (perhaps even dyno time). Great drivability and use of the stock ECU's safety featues.
UTEC - Great for the DIY tuners out there or those that want to be able to hone their tuning skills themselves. Initial outlay for device is moderate and virtual support is huge (internet, dealers and so on) Uses stock ECU's safety features as well as adding a couple of twists, great drivability for the most part, higher modified cars will depend on the expertise level of the tuner with regards to dirvability. New and interesting features in constant development.
Complete standalone or PEMS - For those with modifications beyond the above and the complete control freaks amongst us. Moderate to down right expensive in cost and for the more advanced user base (some easier to work with than others).
Just my personal thoughts on the which unit to go for subject.
