thats the idea. probably would not have datalogging...at least not initially. Just online and offline map editing.

i'll be looking to pick up a stage 2 ecu this winter for my n/a

I really wish this would get stickied so people would know you CAN use a laptop instead of a palm.

My main source of concern is that at the dyno, the palm-based entry method is too slow to be useful. I have created other maps which I can load in, but the load map feature is extremely unreliable.

Tuning on the fly with a PC would be a huge benefit.

I know it can be done, but I read some people have had issues with it. I work on computers so I understand the headaches when things just "dont work". All I'm saying is it would be nice if what he is doing is supported so using both laptop and palm systems can be intertwined.

i see it as more reliable/faster on a lowly p3 500 laptop. i just got done stalling another rtek, and loading my old maps from 3 months ago, and tuning the fuel map for ~12%+ on half the map( anywere its in boost. ) took like 1 and a half hour.

i don't have to worry about batterys dying and losing memory, and its much easyer to read.
i do hope soon for an option to edit the maps on my laptop while away from the car. or at least being able to READ the entire map at once. That would be nice.
