Looking at getting an auto blipper but I'm torn between the FT and Translogic. The FT is only $360 from 2WDW and the translogic unit is $499.
Who has what and how well do they work? Looking for some input. TIA

I could never get FTECU to downshift and support never replied to me - there's a couple documented instances on Youtube so I'm not the only one.
Didn't feel like chasing the issue so I only used it for upshifting (similar to the much cheaper GYTR OEM) and that worked fine for all of 1 year until it died.
Switched to Translogic at that point, the install process is more involved but it has been working very well since then and the build quality is overall much better than FT unit. You may need to tweak timings but that's well documented in the manual.

The Translogic is more expensive and has a much harder install but does not require an ECU flash from what I've seen. Not that that matters, I've already had mine done and I'm pretty sure 2WDW will update it for the auto blipper for free but then I have to be without the ECU for a week instead of just doing the Translogic install on a weekend or something. |

A week? 2WDW doesn't take that long for a flash turnaround.

A week? 2WDW doesn't take that long for a flash turnaround. 3 days to them, they have it and then 3 days back. I'm on the East coast - USPS Priority is 3 days to WA and back lol |

I have the translogic unit and it works as advertised. I'm running it straight out of the box and no issues. Install is not bad. I was doing block off plates at the same time so that made it simpler since I had everything removed already. I have a 2wdw flash and run the translogic for the autoblip.
