Did I ever truly recommend it? No, I simply stated he needed to be aware that there were other ECM platforms out there than the tried and seemingly not true UTEC. And then I gave its specs. Not to mention Joey is no longer using it due to the problems with it's capabilities or lack-there-of, and is now to my understanding going with the Link. What does that tell you? Just because something is new, doesn't mean it's the Devil Cosmo. I'm sure you're the kind of person who thinks 'FOOOSBALL's the DEVIL!' too?
Joey is still using a UTEC. He was looking at an AEM, but you can't get one yet. And, that has nothing to do with the UTEC. That's just Joey for you. You have to know him...
And, I never said anything bad about the Nemesis. I just said that it didn't make sense to recommend something that has never even been seen over something that is being used sucessfully by many many people.
By the way, I am checking with WTXTuners.com administration to see if I can have your title changed from "WRXTuners Member" to "All Knowing, All Seeing, Superior Being".

Also, maybe it was before the time you purchased a WRX Cosmo, but the UTEC was once a Fresh New product, just getting ready to be released to the general public. Yes, I had my WRX at that time, and I watched as people Flamed the UTEC because it was something "NEW and untested, AKA 'The Devil'." Back then it was either the Unichip, or Standalone, and if you didn't have standalone, then you had the Unichip. People said the same exact thing as you just said to me.
Now look at the UTEC, you're off preaching it to be the next best thing since sliced bread. Times change, and technology changes. I'm sure just as the Unichip did, the UTEC will go the way of the Dodo, with all the new technology coming out. The reason the UTEC is having problems? It wasn't designed to run with Dual Processors. So I hope you get off your high horse and stop preaching about the UTEC being 'Tried and True', because it was once in the same spot as these "NEW, Devilish" EM platforms out there today.

UTEC is not working as well as i think it should, and i really dont want to run a reflash and the UTEC too.....and since i sold my UTEC to a fellow board member.....just another reason to try something different!
You seem to have misunderstood most of the things I have said for the past year. I never said that the UTEC was the only solution. I never said anything new was not better. I simply said that if someone wants reliable engine management, with good customer service, and a larger customer base to draw knowledge from, the UTEC is the way to go. There are plenty of other good systems out there, but they do you no good if 1) you can't even get one, and 2) you can't get help with it when you do.
Man... you take yourself way too seriously. I was joking around with you, and apparently you got all worked up over it. I apologize. I had no idea you would take that so personally. I guess the days of having fun and picking on someone on the internet are behind us.

Actually...... I'm still having loads of fun. Big smile on my face <=== And if you haven't noticed, I'm still picking on you. So no, the days of having fun and picking on someone on the internet are not behind us.
No, what you Do do, is only list ONE form of Engine Management when someone asks what they should use. It being the almighty -Endorsed by Cosmo- UTEC

Ok I want something that is plug and play, tuneable, useful for upgrades, but what works on 04 that has BEEN RELEASED!
What can I use, AEM is not released yet, Utec does not work, Nemesis is not released. What can I use then??
Alright how about this the HKS FCD and boost controller. Can I use this for now to increase boost for the time being??
I'll wait till Utec comes out with a Fix...whenever that happens
Fuel cut defender only rasises or erases the Fuel Cut, not a good idea, as it's there for your engine's protection. You need something that will work with your Fuel trim. Such as the Apex SAFC, or if you really want then the Greddy e-manage.
Well, like I said earlier, I believe the UTEC fix has been achieved. Call Nathan or Mark at TXS and find out for sure.
And, the stock fuel cut is at 19 psi, so unless you are going to a much larger turbo you don't need a FCD. I still don't recommend upping the boost much without some sort of fuel system upgrades. You can PROBABLY (read - at your own risk) raise your boost a pound or two safely because the WRX runs so rich. However, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

You are right. People ask what I recommend, and I tell them. Yes, I stand behind it because it has worked flawlessly for me. And, it works flawlessly for many friends of mine. I will continue to recommend it for just that reason.
But the FCD is adjustable. So you can run a little more boost without having fuel cut at that Psi. I'm not going to turn it off totally, just need to move the cut up so I can boost a little more

No, the point is that you have to increase your fuel trim to compensate for the added boost, not increase your fuel cut. And no way the stock turbo would put out 19 psi, regardless of the fuel upgrades you did. You wouldn't be flowing any greater CFM, only hotter TEMPs.
You are right. People ask what I recommend, and I tell them. Yes, I stand behind it because it has worked flawlessly for me. And, it works flawlessly for many friends of mine. I will continue to recommend it for just that reason.
Ok, then to solve this, why don't you just put a disclaimer on all of your recommendations then.
Something to the effect of: Being that I'm biased and have never used anyother form of Engine Management, I want to state that there are OTHER forms of management out there, some being better and easier to use. Please use the all powerful intraweb to search for these other types.
