Here you go again bashing Osiris and Uprev without any reason other than "it sucks". Please explain why it sucks, why you don't trust it, and what are it's downfalls compared to other reflashes. Also, try to refrain from "my friends uncles neighbor used it once and didn't like it". If you have personal experience with it, rather the e-tune or pro-tuner version, please share. Until then stop your b*tching about it.

I can search these forums and forums on my350z and show numerous dyno before/after Osiris dyno plots showing nice gains. What can you show?

If you are concerned about saving money, FI isn't for you, trust me. I thought the UTEC would be good for me, but it doesn't look like it can perform the way i'd like it to. Spend the money for the full standalone now, I wish I just bought a Haltech or Fcon and figured it in the $$$ before.

Care to expand why you believe it would suck for FI?

And how could you not trust it for NA when its probably the most widely used reflash in the G/Z community?

don't forget about the Titan community too.

SDGeneralCounsel always bashes Uprev/Osiris in a similar manner. He always says "it sucks" with no reason given. I've called him out before and have had no response.

Anyway, I love my Osiris and Cipher. Also, Uprev's customer service is great!

Nope, no group buys, sorry. Our product has a value, and it's worth the money, we purposely don't overcharge the average joe so we can discount it to others.

You might manage to talk a Pro Tuner into doing a dyno day even and give a discount on the tuning they do, but our product would be at normal price.

I heard that a local tuner shop here in NC was trying to get enough programmers at a good price for a group buy? You havent heard anything about that?

Ok so you're calling out GTM, Relentless RPM, National Speed Inc, STS, and a number of other companies that are in fact using it as OEM tuning for their FI kits? Not to mention every single Pro Tuner that we have listed, they've all used it for forced induction on customers cars at this point. I'm really happy to see you think Shawn Church (Church Auto), Sharif (Forged), Sam (GTM), Hal (Injected), David (Function), Lawerence (Intec) are morons for using it in such a manner and trusting their customers cars with it.

Please give me a simple explanation as to why it "sux", feel free to use gibberish internet slang if you must. After a statement like that I'd love to see you dig a bigger hole for yourself, seeing as how you've basically called out all of the most respected tuners in the nation.

Like I said, there aren't any group buys, if any of our Pro Tuners advertise below our MAP pricing it'll be the last sale they make with our product. They can however advertise their dyno tuning at a discounted rate as part of a shop day or forum package deal.

Fck I typed an entire page and accidentally hit the page back button so I lost everything!!! I'm lazy so I'll just summarize it in a few sentences.


This is ridiculous, Flash Tuning does work for FI!! I maybe a Utec fan but that is because I already have it and it fit my need very well. If I was a total noob and dont want to be involve in tuning my car then Osiris is a very cost effective a very good alternative for low-mid boost application.

Now if you already have a Utec then you need to think hard and evaluate what is important to you, both product has its pros and cons and both have an advantage over the other on certain area.
