Why do you even bother taking the time to post? I know both of your opinions about the system from the first couple of pages... both as expert shop tuners have taken the "proven ground". To me, this is a freaking hobby...

This is how I look at it as posted in previous

Time- yes there is a lot more time and knowledge that has to go into this instead of your plug and play system. It has a steep learning curve to it and there are a lot of things you have to figure out on your own.

Money-
You have to buy or find:

MS2 ECU<-- forgot to add, I had to upgrade to a 4 bar map sensor with altitude correction

$247.00+$65.00

GM IAC, CLT<-- I did splurge and bought new ones... guilty... wanted to make sure they worked...

$17.25 + $16.25

Knocksense <-- uses the factory mitsu knocksensor (or bosh or whichever knock sensor) plus comes with a blinky bulb to show when it is reading knock. can be set for sensitivity. Expensive but better then no knock sensor. I think it is a must for a turbo car

$65.00

WB O2 <-- which I think you should buy even with DSMlink or AEM EMS but that is just my opinion.

315.00

Wire<-- really expensive from radioshack...

um... $20.00 maybe...

Soldering gun <--- however used this to make other proper connections (radioshack again)

$20.00

ECU wiring from another car (Hyundai car worked) + relays

$3 <--expensive....


748.50

make it fair $800 for a ECU+ with WB 02

there you got me...
