i have a Z-tube, Popcharger, 3/8" Plenum Spacer, TopSpeed Headers, Crawford Cats, Fujitsubo Y-pipe, and Fujitsubo Legalis-R Exhaust (basically almost all breathing mods)

last time my car rolled onto a dyno (April) it turned a PITIFUL 230ish (stock 6MT with K&N filter got higher than me). at that time i had everything above except the spacer and the Legalis-R. i know the 5AT saps alot of power, but i didn't think that much. he was having trouble getting a good run with my car, so maybe operator error... but my AFR was off though also, like 14.2ish

think the UTEC would help me make the kind of power that i should be?

yes, your running pretty lean even for a N/A car,you need to add more fuel with all that air to get the gains you should be getting.

Thats comparing apples to oranges.The UTEC gives the end user FULL control over all your engines parameters,whereas a reflash you get what they send you and thats that..
Here is an example of a data log using the UTEC and Tuner pro I did the other night.Look at all the parameters it monitors.

this may seem off base, but why are you charging so much? i accidently saw this on another website before this one (i wasn't even looking for the utec, didn't know it was out yet), and they are charging $60 less. I figured being a sponsor on this site, you'd be able to compete for the 'local' customers a little better.

please correct me if i am way off.

by the way, i'm not trying to take your business away which is why i did not specify which website in public... if you're curious, pm me.

last time I talked to TurboXS the 350 UTEC does not "fit" meaning you need to find an alternative mounting location for the unit. Has this changed?

looks like no...FYI (but looks like the guys there are coming up with a solution) PS I'm local so I could stop by.

That is correct,We are in the process of devising a custom mounting bracket.It is a tight fit.

List price is $1049 USD, our price is $945.Authorized UTEC dealers are not allowed to go below 10%off MSRP. How can a website advertise what they do not have?We have allocated a good majority of the first 25 units being shipped.
The dealer you refer to, is not an authorized UTEC dealer and will be unable to source 350Z UTECS for quite some time,trust me. Also there may be warranty issues and lack of tech support if you buy from a non-authorized Turbo XS dealer.Currently there are only about 3 dealers in the country that will be recieving the first shipments of UTECs.

I am in the same boat as SI_G35Coupe, my numbers were a bit above embarassing: https://g35driver.com/forums/tuner-dyno/75747-04-g35-coupe-5at-dyno-numbers-mods-question.html. I am running pretty lean myself, and with all my mods I am in need of a reflash or UTEC to give me that extra power.

When can this be purchased? How much for you guys to tune it when purchased through you? Lastly, can a possible group buy be setup for these?

You got my attention, UTEC seems to offer more benefits over a reflash (only my opinion from what I am reading, no solid facts behind that claim).

Turbo XS does not allow group buys,any of their products purchased in a group buy will carry no warranty and tech support.I do not make the rules so do not kill the messenger. You can purchase it now through us via online or phone orders. I would love to give futher discounts but its just not allowed by TX.
