Since you don't like driving your EVO anymore, I have a recommendation...PART IT OUT. I have first dibs on the mini battery and lowering springs. Seriously though, I felt like that when I crashed my DSM the next day after spending a week straight working on it. Those feelings will pass. Heck, a nice remedy might be a 6.5K two-step launch at 24PSI later on today to bring you through. Don't walk into the bright light...!

What's the price that he is selling it for? Lowest price I've seen is $199.00 new

It's a different type of tuning system that piggybacks on the ECU of the car. This allows you to tune the car yourself, provided you buy the Cable that connects from your computer to the UTEC system. I don't know of too many people who use them as most use a simple ECU Flash but I'm sure ther are support forums out there if you want to learn more about it.

Most of the notable tuners here in Texas (i.e. - KevinD, Hellcat, Zeus, etc.) use ECU Flash. I'm fairly certain that some of the shops around the area (i.e. - MZM, COBB, etc.) are familiar with the system. I know a few fellahs on here have been tuned by MZM and COBB respectively so hopefully they will chime in. IMO it's not worth the purchase. If you are interested in learning how to tune your car, ECU Flash is free but it requires either EVO Scan, Zeitronix, or some other compatible system. I haven't heard of anyone using a UTEC in quite a while. Mellon tuned an EVO using ECU Flash to over 700+whp. I'm done babbling...

He's selling it for $200, I looked at the turbo xs page and it said $1,049, So i figured it is a good deal.
