need advice on fuel/engine management

[dark1]

does anyone know what the most newb friendly fuel control, general tuning device available is? I have never had to do my own tuning before and I just got a 91 Tsi AWD talon, it is already slightly modded the guy I got it from just ran out of money and needed to sell it. I have been reading ALOT about the DSMlink, SAFC2,which do you guys think I should get?The car has a small 16g and will need new fuel injectors(still has stock)and the guy put a 255 fuel pump in there, so I will be switching to a 190 to avoid getting an AFPR. Any way I want a FMIC and I am going to max out the current turbo before getting a new one, how do you guys think I should do my tuning and fuel control, I am kindve on my own with this project so I need some advice.

I run a S-AFC, DSM Chips Stg3 chip and a TMO Datalogger. If I had to do it all over again (and was available 5 years ago) I'd of gone with the DSM Link which replaces all the above and allows the user to change parameters (Injector Size, MAS/MAFT) on the fly.

If you're not satisfied, can trade me for my setup

does a DSM link hook to a laptop or does it have its own screen?

It hooks up to a laptop...The most user friendly system out there in my mind...I would go for it...I have it and love it...www.dsmlink.com

Good comments so far. I would like to add that you will get off cheaper and be better off in the future if you get an AFPR instead of buying a downgraded fuel pump.

safc2 = easiest
DSMlink = reasonable balance between power, ease of use, and price.

thanks bender, I think safcII for now, and AFRP

So is an afpr good to have regardless of pump size?
