I will say this probably has the most bang for the buck in terms of the power increment and overall fun factor. Just do it ...you will enjoy your new car more.

After a lot of research in terms of power and long term upgradeability it came down to EPL and Protomotive. I went with EPL for the K16 flash and will soon upgrade to K24/18g. I like the power and throttle response and all the additional features EPL offers (launch Control etc.). They have great turnaround and customer service.
I will say that you cannot go wrong with either tuner,Todd has been great too on answering my questions on the phone and also offers remote tuning via durametric.
For me EPL did it price wise and also a possibility of custom dyno tune in the future when Tony gets to Chicago.
Gl with your selection.

Here's my breakdown
- EPL tune: $1200
- 16g turbo upgrade: $1200 from blouch - assuming you are using your own K16 turbo.
- DV
- FPR
- plugs
I'd say all in without install is about $2700
With install/dyno, easily all in is $4k+

There should be a noob training manual! LOL

Yes you can buy the 24/18k and more goodies ... 
Crazy prices for Sportec/Ruf (Europe) compared to what is sold in the US..... if you are thinking about bang 4 bucks... I dont know what is the best products... For me quality and no problems is what i was looking for. And ended up with Ruf&Sportec..

The GIAC website says an exhaust MUST be added. Is that true or do you need a new exhaust no matter what ECU flash you get?
I know an exhaust may be recommended, but is it required?
