Need some advice on tuning device

[andymac40330]

Ok, here goes. I just got my injectors in the other day along with all the rest of my stuff for my build and I am trying to get something to control them. Now I know that the general consensus here is always dsmlink (which I may go to somewhere down the road), however I do not have the money to put up for that. My question to you guys is (and I have searched for days) what would be the better system to run on my car in your opinion between the greddy emanage blue with all the harnesses and support tool, or the ecu+ black box? The reason I have narrowed it down to these is that I can get the emanage setup for $200 shipped and the ecu+ setup for $125 shipped. Mainly I guess I'm asking what the difference is in features between the two as I was unable to find a decent comparison anywhere on the net. I am fairly new to tuning and ease of tuning is a plus but I am not objective to reading and learning so, any advice would be greatly appreciated.


I am going to update my mod list now so that you can better assist me.

I just purchased the ecu+ black box and it seems to be pretty easy to tune with and the forums for the ecu+ is pretty helpful also. And Tom the inventor of the ecu+ is also very helpful. If you could find the silver box it is better but im happy with the black box. It is alittle more complicated to use than a afc but you have plenty more options to use with it. I have never messed with the greddy emanage though so i dont know how they are to use.

Well thanks for posting, it's good to hear some first hand reviews. Could you possibly tell me what features the black box is lacking from the silver box. I tried to search the ecu+ site as well as pm and email some people over there and couldn't really get my question answered. Are there any notable features on the black box version (nlts, stutterbox, map tracing, anything like that)? Also, I thought it said somewhere that it can tune larger injectors than other piggybacks, is this true and if so how?
