What to do??? Suggestions
Hello i have hks downpipe,apexi catback,Walbro 255 fuel pump,joe p mbc, cold air intake and turbo timer. I dont know what to do this summer im gettting vf22, fmic, injectors. Right now my problem is fuel cut and i think i should be making more power but my stock ecu is limiting me because of the boost controller. What should i do i know im running rich cause i can smell it so pretty much the fuel pump is not really helping me or hurting me just my gas milage.
The question is what should i do. I think i have to do a utec or Ecutek and Safc. What do you guys think what are the advantages to each thing. Like i dont know what to decide utec or ecutek how much do each cost please help thank you.

To find out whether you are really running rich, try to get hold of a wide band O2 sensor. You will be able to tell on the fly.
As for the cost, I will let the rest of the owners here to tell you as I am not local.

The cost of either the UTEC or ECUTEK remap is on any of the authorized vendors pages.

Just ot name a couple. But there are a lot more out there...
As far as what you want. Both of those are two TOTALLY different markets. If you dont understand how an engine works or the components in an EFI engine, you shouldn't really consider a UTEC. The UTEC is made so that the end user can tune himself. Many are not competent to do it, and shouldn't.
If your on a budget look into getting a used unichip from vishnu Tuning and an EMI adapter. That combo will give you some good results. Used you'll pay under $500 for the unichip, harness, and EMI adapter.
