Can anyone further expand on this?

The key differences between powerpup, technosquare and cobb?

I dont know the differences at all...

lol im on the same boat as you by g35robby helped me out. technosquare is just a reflash which is mainly for speed.
with cobb and osiris, u get different maps (modes) that u can put. like the valet mode where the car cant go past 35mph or stock mode or race mode. ill be getting my osiris tune by june
powerpup im not familiar with.

I think, having gone through the different argements, I am going to go with Cobb. It's now apparently available for the 07 sedan. It costs a whole lot more, which is the bad thing, but having several different maps, WOT from any speed makes this worth it for me. I just need to finish putting on my bolt-ons!!!

WOT from any speed for me is worth the $500 price. does the G really have that much axle snapping power anyway?

Agree with your write up jack090, I have had a great experience with bully dog support after a couple of initial installation attempts. The initial download did not accept my updates so I was emailed version 1.2.2; this also did not read my ECU so after another email from bullly dog support, I downloaded their v 1.2.2a zip file- the download on my G then worked perfectly.

I used the regular maps since I burn 87 octane but did not change the timing or idle- set the speed limiter at 156 and RPM limiter to 7650; I did experience improved power in all 6 gears, particularly at 55mph+ on the interstate while downshifting and just flooring it. I will review later to determine any improved mpg. I may try the premium tune at my next fill up with 91 octane, although I have been running 87 octane for the last 2 years/20,000 miles with no problems/no pings.

Before buying the Nissan power pup, I was seriously considering the Osiris standard tune, but I'm not convinced it's worth $350 more than the pup ($700 vs $350). Dyno forthcoming to futher validate my assumptions- or lack thereof.

I'd be very interested to see the Dyno charts for the power pup. I thought about techno/cobb reflash, but unfortunately this is a daily driver and I can't be without my car for a day or two. This was probably one of the easiest/fastest ways for me personally to get more performance. Also this is by far the cheapest out of all of them and I could justify the purchase for the long run, by the ability of reading my own check engine lights. (Hopefully I'll never have them, but again this is just my own reasoning to justify this purchase )

Just a quick update on the gas mileage. I ended up driving roughly 300 miles today and the mileage was 24.8 for the total trip. (Some of this was through city traffic) I can definitely tell my mileage has gotten better. I was driving like a granny when I did this however. I have been playing with the extra power before my trip, and it's still crappy when you WOT around town. (roughly 18-19) but this is acceptable for me when "playing" with it.

Just ordered mine and its coming next Wednesday. I am running JWT popchargers, Berk HFC's, Stillen CB, and BB grounding wires. I really really really want to find a dyno to do a before and after but Im not sure if I can pull together enough money. My other car (WRX) is broken and needs some love too.
