Datalogit for the non tuner?
I was wondering if you guys who are running the datalogit, think it would be a good purchase for someone who does'nt do to much tuning? When the time comes, I plan on having Ralph Friend at GroundZero tune my FD/to4s. I don't mind doing some tuning, but I'm going to leave it upto someone who knows what he's doing. Anyways, I was thinking about getting one, and wanted your guys opinions. Later, CJ

One of the main reasons I bought Datalogit was to have a boost control switch easily accessible - its a pain to change boost on the Commander when you need it in a hurry. I use an extra foglight switch for hi/lo boost.
I don't have a laptop yet but I welded in an extra O2 bung and plan to get the DIY wideband so that I can datalog and keep tabs on how its running. I'm sure I'll end up with a better understanding of how certain things operate from being able to study the logs.

I was'nt worried about boost control as I'm running my Profec B.
Jason, I'd realy hate to try to explain to Rob why I've gone through 2 motors in 3 months before I got it right.
Not to mention my wife. I feel comfortable tuning a non turbo engine, (I've done 3 over the years.) all you do is lean them out, until the power starts to drop off. Then richen it up a bit.
If I where to do that with a turbo motor....there would be alot of broken parts. Later, CJ

Either pay to get it tuned once or start with someone's good start map (build a relationship with someone who will hold your hand through remote tuning assuming you get a WB like Jason said).
I don't think ANYONE should pay for tuning more than once, if they have a WB and Datalogit. On top of that, if you build the relationship with the right person, they will probably support you through it all.

Are you planning on going to this meet the Cleveland guys are starting down in Columbus August 16th?
I'd sure like to have you take a look at my car while we are down that way.
Thanks, Tom
