Tony, the main thing was a comment about the ablity to pull real time data being in question.

I'd really like a few extra out puts from the ECU also. I have yet to find out if a model specific AEM unit still allows for the extra controls teh race model does. Turn on and off extra fans, pumps, maybe a little N20?☺☻☺?

After the fighting all the way through the limited amount of things I've done, I've found it better to pay the premium for professoinalism. Otherwise I seem to pay for that and the going the other way too. And waste too much time. That and after factoring in boost controller, the DSM Link, the (enter list here), The stand alone comes out to about the same price or less. Without the hassle of trying to get a bunch of generic crap to work with an encripted ECU a small company, that might be gone tomorrow, holds the key to.

I guess I've made my mind up on this one. Been looking into stand alones since I started thinking about putting boost on the S. I'm not try to be close minded about it. I just don't see a case for not going this way. Expecally when theres a well supported PnP system for $1600.
