Alright, so please calm the irritated level for asking these newbish questions, and be pleased with this following statement.
This is my first turbo'd car. I want to manage/take car of it correctly. It is completely stock, and I am rebuilding the engine instead of driving it and breaking it down. I have done no upgrades. I simply want the best for the vehicle.
Now, that I've shown my intentions, here is my post.
As I stated, I have done absolutely no aftermarket upgrades. I am rebuilding the engine, so to speak, with new rings, gaskets, and whatnot. I would like to know if getting a management system would be the correct choice as a first "upgrade". I have been reading what I can on things such as a Data-Logger and DSMlink... and I am just curious is dropping the cash for DSMlink is a smart decision for a stock GSX that WILL be upgraded?
My ideal range for this car will be between 400-500AWHP. I am taking care of the basics as I rebuild the engine, such as ARP L19's, stronger clutch assembly, and a trans rebuild. I won't name off my desired upgrade path as this isn't the place to do it.
With a tool such as DSMlink, what are the requirements before I purchase it? What can I expect to be able to do with it? What difference will it make on a Stock vehicle? And overall, is it a smart choice?
Thanks for any input, and sorry for the uneducated post.
