So many options and none are bad really.
Cost becomes a factor and in some cases you get what you pay for...
If you are just doing a flash to your K16 car (and hopefully an exhuast), then
the differences in performance are minimal. Beyond that it becomes who you are comfortable with, what you 1-2-3 year goals are, where you are physically located (for service, future mods, builds, etc.). I would start with your board sponsors on the right side of this screen.
Vivid, FVD, Sharkwerks, ImagineAuto, Protomotive, EVOMS, AWE, GMG, Champion, Tony @ EP Labs, RPM (in New York), etc. etc. It can range from $1K+ to $3K.
Good luck!

I have been thrilled with my UMW product. And the service is second to none.

You need to be happy in "your world" whatever you define that to be.

+1 for UMW. Quick to spool and nice consistent power. I wouldnt hesitate to use another one of Kevins products. He is a stand up guy!!

This topic has been discussed SO many times, from many different angles - anyone asking a broad question like this will get this response.
Take a look at the history on this topic and read it - you're not the first one to ask
Once you read what's been written, call the tuners that you find interesting and discuss your goals - driving something with the setup you find interesting would also be a good suggestion.

My deal is. that sometimes the search results are old... not recent.. and since each day things change out there with designs and results.. why live in the past... Do you do a search each & every time before asking a question...? I think not.
