wow.. no way in my book. I would never short cut the tuning of a FI setup. Why bother doing all the work and skimping on the tune? Not that much extra $ for better reliability and performance. 
Anything would be better than just running the OE ECU though. Cannot argue that.
But, not my project.

anything over that tho id agree and def. go full aftermarket.

not going full ems isnt shortcutting if u dont need/wont be using the extra adjustment range. 10psi is what most agree the top end of the OE ecu's capability. iirc Lextreme ran 10-12psi on his turbo 1LS with the OEM ecu and a piggyback for a few years.

Fair enough.

Any problems whit a Mine's ECU?
Well what can I say , the car is just stronger everywhere !!
The shift points on the auto are different , it kicks down earlier and that is with me already having a preloaded kick down cable .
shifts are quicker but not harsh .
the car pulls harder fron standstill but at about 40 KPH it really gets moving .
I locked it in second and saw 7250 RPM on the tacho so the extended rev limit is correct .
I needed to have less throttle to do the same speed as before so I fully expect the mileage to improve as well .
There is no doubt that the timing is advanced ealier than the standard ECU .
Very pleased and worth every cent !!
With the timing advanced it's quite possible that at max horse power revs around 5600 RPM [ I'm not exactly sure at what revs max HP is?] it could make 40 HP more , from the searching I've done they are supposed to give a max increase of 25 Kw and that's well below what the mines ECU's for the GTR Nissan's and the Supra's make .
As an example I had to brake heaps harder for one corner as my speed was up by 20 KPH in the same distance as before , a definite improvement .

Have fitted the Mine's ECU now and I'm very pleased with it. Haven't been possible to test how much the performance have improved because it's winter and winter here in the north of Sweden = icy and snowy roads. Kick down in 100 kph just activates the traction control. And if I turned the traction control off it gets a little bit to exciting...
But It feels like its definitely is stronger in the low and middle range and the response from the engine is improved to. And the downshifts are much faster. And the rev limit is extended to. Because of the bad traction I couldn't check if the performance is improved in the high range, but the wheels just keep spinning over 5000rpm so I guess it has.
Overall it was worth every penny, in this case 400$ with shipping. Bought it on ebay from rpmgarage (www.rpmgarage.com) who I really can recommend.
Going to give a better report when I have tested it for a longer time (and the traction has improved)

Have been able to test the shifting points now with "the pedal to the metal" and it looks like it actually shifts a little bit earlier now (first gear to second) Around 5800rpm instead of 6000. But the shift i quicker and it feels like the car doesn't loses momentum during the shift from first to second gear as i did before. Haven't been able to clock the car but it definitely feels quicker 0-100kph (0-62 mph) then i did before. And the car pulls harder all the way to the shift point know. Overall, still very happy with the Mine's ECU.

^^ Works fine.
Keith Tau. He is the person I picked up my Blitz ECU for UCF11.
Good to see you are enjoying your new ECU.
