Purchasing Programmer
So i'm finally deciding to buy a programmer, but i need some advice. I'm looking for something pretty basic, with the ability to switch to a couple different settings, from mileage to performance. I was looking around on ebay and found This:
EDGE EVOLUTION CS DIESEL TUNER 94-97 FORD F250 F350 7.3 | eBay
• Full-color, high-resolution, button-controlled 2.4 inch screen
• Multiple power levels for Mileage, Towing and Performance
• Compatible with optional EGT pyrometer for engine protection
• Compatible with optional Edge Accessory System (EAS) to allow users to connect multiple, additional accessories
• Includes light sensitivity meter to dim screen as ambient light decreases
• Internet updateable (cable included)
• Displays and clears Diagnostic Trouble Codes
• Displays Alerts and Records such as RPM, MPH and EGT
• Ships with a universal suction cup mount from Arkon, the leader in device-mounting solutions.
• Compatible with all Edge custom dash pods(sold separately).
Which look pretty sweet, i like having the ability to hook up a pyrometer to the LCD screen. (plus all the other things you can hook up to it for monitoring!)
Battery Voltage, Engine Load, Engine Oil Temp, Engine RPM, Exhaust Back Pressure, Gear with TCL, ICP Pressure, Injector Pulse Width, Intake Air Temp, IPR Duty Cycle, Manifold Abs Pressure, Throttle Position, Time 0-60, Time 1/4 mile, Trans Temp, Turbo Boost, Vehicle Speed, Waste Gate Control Duty Cycle
However the thing is a bit pricey- My next step wil be to install a bigger turbo, re-do the exhaust, injectors, and probably an intercooler.
Has anyone seen or used this specific programmer?
Any advice would be appreciated

Don't get one for tuning. There have been quite a few dead pcms on these trucks from edge writing to them. I had one that I won and ran it for a week. Then went back to my chip. If you like the idea of the gauges and such go with an insight. It doesn't tune but reads codes. Then get you a custom tuned chip. There are plenty to choose from and you get six tunes changeable on the fly. Also if you upgrade injectors and other things you can change the tuning to accomadate.
