Looking for a tuner/programmer
Hi all,
I figure that this is pretty common here, but it is fairly specific. I am looking for the perfect tuner/programmer for my truck (in sig). As everyone else, I don't want to spend too much. Also, I don't have any special gauges, so I would like one that would monitor EGT, boost, tranny temp, etc. Also, I don't really know the benefits of programmer vs. tuner. I do some towing, a small boat (about 3000#) and horses (about 8000#). What is the best one out there for me that won't break the bank? One more question, is it possible to buy these things used?
Thanks,
Jack

I would second the DP tuner, lot of people here are running them but as it has not monitor it would be good to get gauges. I also second the NO K&N filter as I have been reading a lot of different test and they do let dirt in. I like 6637 for the fact that its almost plug and play. Here is a link to some air filter tests.

As a newbie, I like my Edge, its cheap and easy to use. I understand you need have your truck completly set up with all mods for you specific application when you order your DP-tuner so they can burn it to your needs. But again I am new to the PSD so for now I use Edge, as I get more into my truck I will upgrade to a DP.

ISSPRO, DiProcol, & Autometer are the top 3 gauges to look for. You can find ebay cheapies (glowshift) but they are crap. Those top 3 pretty much perform the same, it's just personal preference on which ones you choose. I have ISSPRO gauges with triple pod on the pillar. Most guys on here that have made the move from isspro's to Diprocol's seem to like the Diprocols better.
