Need advice on Greddy EU for boost

with this many problems with Greddy EU, I am having second thoughts about installing it. It seems to me that Greddy EU isn't as stable and consistent as I thought, basing on the guys that are having problems with it.

I am about to swap in a rebuilt 3.5 and boost that thang. I also have a Greddy EU with map sensor. But seeing so many problems with the EU and that the software isn't fully ready for the car, I'm reluctant on installing this EU on my car.

My S/C setup will be as follows:

V2 SQ with 2.87" pulley, (3.5 internals will be ready for this boost; will not release details till it's done, so I can save the embarassement if it never works out)
555cc injectors
3" custom charge pipe
K&N Cold air intake
EVO BOV
Z32 Maf, if I don't use the Greddy Map sensor.
walbro fuel pump
fuel pressure regulator.
3.0 stock ecu, debating on Greddy EU or simply call JWT for a chip, I have the N/A jwt ecu, also.
and M-300 Wideband unit.


Now, I was told long ago that even without Greddy EU, this S/C can be ran "untuned" on the 3.0 ecu with the Z32 maf, right? I just want the S/C to run for a while till the EU is fully ready to run on our cars. I'm gonna need a FMU in this case, if not running EU.

I'm new to boosting and the 3.5, and I"m still trying to look up as much as I can with these things. So If you can chime in some opinions, please do so, and I appreciate your help in advance.

The EU is working for me NA. The one Boosted car I know about has problems. But we are trying to fix it.

But I thought you've had problems with it after you shift gears that it wouldn't speed up. I saw your thread about it, and it doesn't seem like that's fixed.

If I'll go the Greddy EU route, I'll definitely install it N/A first, making sure it works before I boost it.

That's the boosted car I posted for. Mine is running smooth.

Mine is running smooth as silk on a boosted application and it can only get better once they come out with updated firmware that can read the cam signal.
