ive only learnt what the EDIS module does in the last few months, and never had a Turbo car with it on [dont know whether the 900 T-16 had something similar] so wouldnt know.
Edis is bullet proof. And your car wont need constant rolling roading, its not a set of carbs

Obviously you'll always be tempted to the odd little tweak when you notice a stray AFR here or there when on cruise or whatever, but its only something you do because you WANT to do it, it shouldnt be anything you HAVE to do, if that makes sense?
100% agree, you will want to change small things to make it as perfect as you can. And the best thing is YOU can actually do this

So can megasquirt, and so can most TBH

cost is a factor and the omex 600 is the most expensive.

the emerald and the M-Tech V4 are similarly priced and similar things said about both. the outlook of emerald seem more tech minded than the M-Tech people, as the M-Tech website is quick and bullet pointed with a lit of features which is informative and easy to check out, but i get a clearer picture with the emerald spec setup.
At the end of the day they will all work, just go with what you fancy. I wouldnt spend more than £200 on an ecu personaly, but then i can get one that will do everything i need for that money and spend the rest on other stuff. Just have fun getting it running and tuning it
