EVO X ECU Flash Recomendations Vishnu vs Turbotrix

I have a 2008 Evo X. Its a daily driver but I want to get a little more power under the hood. It only has a fast intentions stainless stell exhaust. I figured that I'd replace the IC piping and reflash the ECU. Now here is the question after some research I narrowed it down to a Vishnu reflash or go down to Turbotrix and get a custome flash. The prices are about the same. Vishnu boasts some pretty impressive numbers however I question the one-flash-fits-all approach. What do you guys recomend?

Vishnu was very active when the Evo 8's and 9's were around. They popped up a little when the X came out, but their main business is BMW's these days. I doubt their flash is superior to any of the other tuners out there. You want support too, and Vishnu is not even a vendor here anymore. Some other people can probably comment about Turbotrix, but a custom tune is always nice. Have you considered Cobb?

^^ I was gonna say. For the X, Vishnu is not the right option. Hell, if you're on the West Coast, you can find tuners like flies on sugar (no offense to tuners), there's so many of them. Custom flash or go home is what I say. Dare I suggest even E85?
