Dreamscience stratagem

RichieST · 26-06-2008, 12:50 PM

These any good? Thinking about getting one for the ST170. Do they have the facility to read and dislpay fault codes from the ECU like the bluefin does? (required really as my car throws a different code every week)

I was interested in the bluefin but have heard a lot of mixed reviews about it, and the stratagem unit looks a bit more promising with its 4 different maps etc, and what sounds like far better customer service, which I feel is very important!!

Thanks
Rich

Good service from them and yes you can read and display fault codes on the unit

RichieST · 26-06-2008, 03:32 PM

Ok thanks for that. Do you know if it is actually better than bluefin?

big advantage of the DS is that there not locked to one car, and can be reused 4 more times, so it can be resold

Thats for my ST, I assume the ST170 is the same

Yes mate they are miles better than the bluefin!!

Have the it on my car and I can't fault it!

I was always under the impression no more power was to be had from an ST170?

RichieST · 26-06-2008, 07:10 PM

Ok great stuff thanks, sounds pretty good to me then! How does the fault reader work then? Does it perform full diagnostics or will it just show up the fault code?

Benni - St170s are difficult to get much more power from, up to about 190bhp is acheivable but can be costly. I want the DS tho just to improve what I have already, and as I said, its already thrown up god knows how many different fault codes already, so a proper reader will be handy
