UEL vs EL has come up several times. Not seeing a very massive difference between tuned UEL vs EL sub 300 whp. Very minor if anything and not noticeable. It comes down to, can you sacrifice anywhere from 3-10 whp (depending on FI or not) for your boxer rumble? That's literally the difference you're going to see running UEL instead of EL.

EL would be a must for the stage 2+ turbo kits pushing above 400 whp or someone who wants to squeeze every ounce of hp they can out of a part. Even then, no one can tell you that you can't run a UEL at that whp level.
