Fubar231 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 So im going to pick up a 1990 Talon TSI AWD. Its got some mods (big 16g, turbo back, balance shaft eliminator i think, a afpr, some other stuff ill have to get the full list) but it needs tuned. What should i be looking at to get it tuned? Ive heard a bunch of people using DSMLink, but what are other options? Is there a way to use the factoy ecu or not having to modify it? I know there are some DSM people here so if anyone wants to give me the run down or something that'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I would bet that car has a chipped ecm, if it does its not flashable. You could burn eprom chips for it, but that's a pain to tune a car that way. I'm not sure that the flashable ecm would work so ill let others chime in about that. I do know my brothers was tuned on a safc, again though, I'm not sure that would be compatible either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to piggy back this car and have the same problems i had with my supra and piggy backs. If i can get a DSMLink and have it tuned that way for probably what i would have in buying the piggy backs and such id rather do that. A fully tuneable $500 ecu would be much better than just a $200-$300 fuel controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 So what your saying is that you are getting a modified DSM that wasn't modded in the most important aspect, tuning? Best of luck. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
