that is not all true

i did have UTEC on my STi and my bugeye

my bugeye made more power and over 300lbs of tq, wich is waaaaaay more than anyone else with similar mods at the time, not sure now since i havent kept up after selling my STi.

i did have a faulty Utec on my STi, but it was one out of a million, and i jsut got unlucky.

AND Utec DOES have temperature adjustment, there is a whole list of variables it can adjust for, jsut have to type in what you want them to be. EASY, and i never had a problem withthe car running diff at diff times, alwasy 100%

And finally, the bugeye Utec WAS better than my STi utec, mainly becuse they never came out with a new revison if the STi utec, idk if they have now, but back then they didnt.

But, its all what you want, i am not the person that jsut wants my ecu flassed and thats it, i like to know whas going on, and i like to look and make changes, and if you dont want to change anything you dont have to.

This is an endless discussion, but what you have to keep in mind is that alot of the reveiws and feedback you get from people is false or they just have no experiance with cars or dont really know what there talking about. I SEE THIS ALOT WITH THE WRX COMMUNITY. You have to weed out whats real or not. Thats all im going to say on teh subject, cause i know everyone is about to jump in and be like ooooooohhhhhhhh nooooooooooos UTEC IS CRAPPY AND ECUTEK WINS. Well tell that crap to my timeslips and my 507AWHP daily driver or the very low 12 sec bugeye i had with little mods. Suck it i say

UTEC does in fact suck, it sucked on the bugeyes it sucks on the STI. Its not just UTEC though its all piggy back type systems. For real power nothing beats a standalone. Reflashes work amazingly well too but if you want big power go stand alone.

This is my opinion, if you don't like it sorry. I've had a UTEC a Flash and a AEM. I had Clark tune my car when it had a UTEC in it, then I had Dan at Batlground fix it after Clark tuned it. I personally tuned the AEM in my 240 and my Supra. I have a little tuning experince and if there is one thing that I am sure of I wouldn't even consider putting a UTEC on a car ever again, its not worth the headache.
