Update: Check out The DSM wiki! Let me know what you think.
DSMtuners is the first place I go for DSM info. Especially the forums, since if someone's asked it before then they've most likely got a solution from other members. If not there, then in the tech articles. If not there, then I search the web and find a collection of other sites, vfaq, etc.
The problem I find is that it's hard to find the standard info many times. Vfaq I've found to be incredibly hard to navigate, in that the search doesn't work, google doesn't seem to find what I'm looking for, article links are broken or images are missing.
I'd love to have a Wiki that could hold all DSM info, like a vfaq. The reason I'd prefer a wiki is that many times articles are out of date, need revision, or go missing. Also, tech articles are good but when the author goes MIA, then the article stagnates.
Are there any existing ones? If not, I'd be willing to set one up on my website (I've got a good host, should be ok). Any thoughts on this idea? I imagine it'd be a complement to existing sites (including vfaq, etc). Basically people work out their issues in the forums, and for anything that comes up often a wiki article could be made that people could point to later.
Questions like:
What are the different turbos DSM'ers use?
How do I tell different injectors apart?
What ECU's can I use in which years?
How do I datalog/tune/etc?
I know these are answered other places, but like I said suffer from some of the problems mentioned above. If nothing else, it would be a good way to consolidate all the info in a central place so you could simply find what you're looking for, or start from the beginning and read your way down to wiseman-like-knowledge.
Comments appreciated, otherwise I'll just set something up and start putting stuff in there.
