Best EM? What are people using

I am currently using a SAFCII to tune with, but would like something more in the near future. I currently have a TB, intake, IC pipes, MBC, and the plan for now is to go as far as I can on the stock turbo. I don't want to do a flash and something like AEM is just too much for me. What are people using that has been working good?

A mail-in flash for the mods you have listed.

Its like $2-300 and it has daily reliability. Never have to adjust anything, retune it, worry about the weather, etc... And depending on who you choose (IMO use TurboTrix) re-reflash's are free Takes 2 days with turnout time, and gets a minumum of 75% of your mods value

A mail-in should be fine until you decide to upgrade the turbo, run alky, or nitrous.

Mail-in's sound good, but I don't want to have to send in my ecu after each mod. I am planning on fuel pump, injectors and cams soon and I would like to be able to tune it myself (with the help from the shop) since I do have a dyno close by.

The best so far for EVO by far is AEM IMO, But if your upgrades are moderate then there are many other options. You have to come in here with goals set and what you want to do with your car then go from there on what to buy

I know that AEM is a good way to go, but I just don't have the money for it or the time to get it working. There is someone in town that I know with it and still has not got the cold start to work good yet. I want something like UTEC or ECU+, anyone else with experience with something that worked good?
