how reliable is greddy ultimate
Hey guys so last year I out in the 10psi pully with the comptech set up I got 385 to the wheels. I'm thinking if going with 13psi this year should I still run the Greddy ultimate? Or should I get a aem v2?
Aem v2 is always going to be better. The fact alone that you can run a flex fuel tune with the aem makes it worth it in my eyes. Flex fuel tune is one of the best mods ever for a boosted car. Especially a turbo car.
Flex fuel is a cool option and certainly a worthy consideration to have. But moving to 13psi isn't going to require you to change the Emanage for a traditional standalone by any means, nor is flex fuel needed. So dont let that dictate. You clearly already have a good running 10psi supercharged S at 385whp with the Emanage, now just add the needed fuel and reduce a few degrees of timing where prudent to run safe. It should be a easy and strait forward deal now that your already established with running the unit. Do you wan to spent a couple hundred for a quick brush up tune on your new pulley, or several thousand to net very much the same results in power by moving to a different platform and start form scratch? There has to be some overpowering benefit here to justify the cost of investment. If running flex fuel is that, sure makes sense. But thats the only reason I could see justification for on a supercharged car, coming from my experience.
Id just max out your blower with the Emanage if it were me, rather then tip toe around
Your timing threashold is -20 on the unit, which if you know the OEM timing advance, equates to running about 10 degrees total, which is more then enough headroom to max out any blower. Most who run 15-20psi end up running about 15-17 degrees total timing at peak trq. I ran 18psi with the 1200 no prob with your set up, with full timing control to spare.

I don't know. My Giles tuned Emanage Ultimate seems to be more reliable than anything out there including new AEM infinity as I read about tuning issues or startup issues here and there with some of the aftermarket ECUs, which might be tuner related.
In addition to that I can pass emissions with Emanager which is awesome. Overall I am extremely happy with Ultimate. I'm not sure what issues your tuner thinks Emanage would have but, people that say that are usually folks that are scared of Emanage and/or never worked with it and just overheard someone else bash it. They will bad mouth this unit without even ever working with it.
