Megasquirt Vs. DSMlink

[turbotalon1g]

so which way do you all think that should i go, DSMlink or Megasquirt?
I have been reading up on both like crazy, with link there is tons of help available with the amazing number of people using link and what not. with megasquirt there aren't so many people but it is a complete standalone system. granted i don't need this right away but i only want to do things once and the right way too. Megasquirt is only $250. just wanted some opinions.
thx

If I had the option I'd give Megasquirt a shot. But from reading up on it, MS seems to require some hacking of the timing components before it'll read the signals from the crank and cam angle sensors correctly.

I would do DSMLink. The stock knock sensing/noise filtering is second to none. I have never used a Megasquirt, it seems like most of the people who use them do all their tuning themselves anyways, and I usually only hear of them on cars that don't have any other good tuning options available for them, or a real full featured standalone system costs more than the car is worth.

Why is this a versus thread.
For a dsm....
DSMlink > Megasquirt. Like Shane said, the Megasquirt is only used on applications that don't have a piggyback or standalone suited for that type of vehicle.

Where has LightningGSX been? I'm sure he has plenty of insight to this.

Use the "KISS" method. "Keep It Simple Stupid". DSMLink works greatly for 95% of the DSM's out there. Biggest bang for the buck. :cool:

I have only ever heard of 1 DSM successfully running Megasquirt and that's a 2G in the Omaha area, if that says anything.

i have been reading on this a little and megasquirt seems great, but i would prefer dsmlink as for the obvious reasons. if some of you that know about the features of dsmlink could look a little into megasquirt and see what u think. i just want the one that controls the most stuff that i would mess with, there is no point having a program that changes shit that will never get touched. oh, there are quite a few running megasquirt, most just the fuel control side of it, the rest with the fuel and spark control.

[1ViciousGSX]

If you want the most control, go AEM EMS. Other wise, DSMLink will be fine.
