Ok, 10psi on this T25G is not enough. I am currently looking for injectors, a MAF, and a EPROM programmer/burner to go for the next level (14psi) then a new turbine. What features should I look for? What brands? Any advice from you programmers (c-rad, etc) let me know.

PS Here is a link to an eBay search. Any look good or useful?http://search.ebay.com/search/...gory0=

What are you talking about? You can get a Willem dual power (USB and DC power) one off ebay for $35-45. That is sufficient to burn the 28-pin eproms we use.

whoa i didn't see that when I was looking for my stuff. I stand corrected. The ones I saw were running 200-300 dollar range so I'd rather pay the 170 something instead of having to pull a chip everytime I make a change.

http://www.sivava.com/ willem eeprom programmer for 53 shipped. I think its worth the cash to get both a programmer and an emulator. Especially a programmer which is as roobust as the willem

Kind of makes sense anyway unless you want to drive around with your laptop on all the time.

I use a Top 2003 that cost me something like $80. And it comes fully encased. Just a bit more finished than the Wilems. And it will do a couple hundred different chip types.All they way to something like 128 pin I think.

i picked up some 27sf512s, 5 of them to be xact. Gonna design a quick board so i can choose between 4 different maps. I got them cuz they were the cheapest, they just happened to come with alotta space. And im all about gettin this tuning done together. My car should be back mid march if all goes well.
