Which DTA?

The DTA is a bit of a fuck about to map.

An engine managment system is only as good as the tuner putting the information in.
You may have the fastest and most powerfull ECU on the market but if the tuner does not spend the time (and you need lots of time) to enter a spacific value in all the load sites then it makes no differance what you are running.

Both do similar things so its up to you to choose as he says.

Some of the quick rally cars have DTA (went to an event 2 weeks ago where 1st 2nd and 3rd were all running DTA)

The S60 is not as popular out in the competition field yet so stick with the P8 if your thinking DTA.

If your going Emerald, buy new with the latest upgrade.

Im in a catch 22, my best mate works at DTA and I run Emerald
