98 FI GUYS a lil poll, who needs 2-3bar tuning...efilive wants to know Here is a post from EFIlive

They might consider doing a 2-3bar upgrade for the 98 FI guys. I know I bought HP Tuners for this option only to have it not release for my year after the money was spent. I have no problem selling my HP tuners stuff to get a tuning program that uses my stock PCM, instead of cutting and splicing in another system to take over the work. I hate adding stuff to the car that could lead to electrical gremlins down the road.
SO if you have a 98 car and are FI'ed and plan on or are pushing 15+psi post up and be heard. I'd really like this to come a reality as I do need a tuning solution to get the most from my turbo kit with what I have.
I know this could be a lil late since a few of you went with megasquirt but it couldn't hurt to post up anyway.

remember a 2 bar isnt good for over over 15psi, need a 3 bar for that 
I think efiLive is only planning a 2 bar for now.
I would be very happy if they did a 2 bar for 98s though, that would be plenty for me. I am thinking of swapping to a 99+ PCM at the moment though. But since I own Flashscan and HPt it sure would be nice if someone made a 98 2 bar.

Kevin, your scope is so narrow, 2 bar to start would be awesome right? Just to get our foot in the door, headed in the right direction.......get me
3 bar could be introduced later, if I had the ability to tune with a 2 bar set up that would be great for now. I'm sure the turbo will make a lot more power than the ATI at 15 psi anyway(crosses fingers
).
Upgrade my PCM....NO! not until I or we exhaust all possibilities of a 2 or 3 bar SD set up coming out.
Ed, like I stated before, I hate cutting and splicing into wire harnesses. I'm colorblind for starters and getting the correct wires to tap into or to cut isn't a walk in the park for me. Plus you run the risk of shorts somewhere down the line. I just hate wiring stuff in PERIOD. The stock PCM is more than capable of the HP i'm after...but I just want a convienent way to tune it. Piggy backs and standalones aren't convienent. My high Z 60lb mototrons are plenty for me and run excellently on my car and were easy to tune....why do I need low Z injectors?
Keep this on track, those of you who have 98's and don't want a piggy back set up and want the ability to push 15+ psi post up....EFIlive is listening.
