You'll need at least one of the laptop adapter, hand unit, or dash unit. All three rock the house. If you've got the coin I would recommend all three.

The 3 BAR MAP is cool, but not many will need it. I know you're still on the stock turbo, Daniel, so I'd recommend sticking with the standard sensor.

The Bosch coils are cool, but if you're not shooting for over 450 hp, they're a 10/10ths sort of option, and not really worth the cost unless you're looking for every last bit of power.

The WB datalogging is for the LT12 only.

yea, ive pretty much figured im ganna get the laptop controller at a bare minimum. my main problem is my inability to decide between the dash unit, cuz it sounds cool, and the hand unit cause it sounds fuctional mainly cause im not ganna have access to a laptop everytime i drive. can any real tuning be done on the dash unit? or is it mainly just there for info on what the car is doing? and how easy/hard is it to controll the car with the hand controller? btw, im shooting for 300+- hp at the wheels not a great feat, but thats what i want for a daily driver

thanks
Daniel

Well I see 6 options, so I'm not sure what you mean by all 3.
But I think you mean hand unit, laptop adapter, and dash unit. If so, do it. That's how I voted (and that's what I bought!)
have fun!
