Tunercat for editing. Datamaster for datalogging.

somewhat of a steep learning curve. Unless you have someone to help explain what does what IMHO. I assume your interested because of your turbo build??

Hopefully my Open loop (no o2's) 2bar Speed Density tune works!

Well every tuning program/platform is different then the next.

like OBDII from OBDI is a different animal. Not a lot similar. So if he is going to help then get the program he knows...

Otherwise, Tuner Cats with the EE edfinition file is your best bet. $80 on Tunercats. $20 for the Lt1 definition file (EE). And $80 for all the cables.

You have to buy a datalogger seperate no matter what tuner you go with. Datamaster is $100. But then there is freescan for free
