The Ostrich is an EPROM emulator. It allows you to shut off the car, modify the code, and restart without burning a new chip. The later versions also had the ability to do some code tracing to see what the ECU was accessing when it was running.

Pros: If you know what you are doing you can change everything.
Cons: You have to know what your doing.

ah i see, thanks for the info! I'm currently sorting through a mess of a gsx and trying to get an idea of what i should keep and what i should toss

It's an incredibly powerful tool, but you need to do your homework. I ran 9's with an ostrich. There is a yahoo group dsm ecu, and then dsm-ecu.com as well. Both are pretty slow these days, but there is ton's of information. Don't expect to be spoon fed.

Dsmecu.com has yet to send me my password (3mounths) even after contacting there email. I'd go to Yahoo after signing up at dsmecu.com I'm still learning and that's the best spot iv found after hours and hours searching.

ecu options for my 1g?

Since you already have a EPROM ECU the options are wide open. You can do it yourself with the Ostrich, have somebody make you a custom chip, or get DSMLink.
