Ok iv herd lots about needing a 1995 talon/eclipes ecu to work with the dsm link. But i still dont understand, i here "socketing" and "eprom" alot, i do have a 95 talon but what else do i have to do to be able to use a dsm link to tune? I would Vfaq but im not sure where to look ither. Lol this probly is such a dumb question so im sorry in advance :rolleyes:.
 
Your 95 should have an EPROM ecu already. In this case you need to send your ECU to the guys at ECMlink to socket the ECU ($25 when purchasing ECMlink) and they will install the chip as well. Easy as that.
 
First things' first:

1.
dsm chipped eprom ecu

Listing four random words doesn't answer anything, unless you intended those to be a search string. In which case, you should have mentioned "search using these terms."

2.
If I Stand Correct You Send Your Ecu Off To Ecmtuning And They Will Eprom The Ecu...

Turn your caps lock off. And that doesn't help explain what socketing is either.

Your 95 Talon should have an ECU that is equipped with what is called an Eprom ECU. The Eprom is an erasable/rewritable chip, as opposed to one that cannot be re-programmed. Now, it's soldered into the circuit board. To install the DSMLink chip, you would need to de-solder that chip and remove it. To make things easier the next time, they solder in a chip socket, so the Eprom chip can be removed easily. ECMTuning will do this for you if you opt for it in the DSMLink package that you buy.

Go to the DSMLink homepage. They have a wonderful FAQ and great customer service.
