Well for 1, it will be plug and play with a stock fuel system so you won't have any issues. When you order through a vendor or directly from ECMtuning you will be set up with a username/password to allow you access to the ECMTuning forum. There is also the free to everyone wiki that is available as well to help guide you through.
start [ECMTuning - wiki]

Not to mention there are many people on here that run ECMLink that can help any question you may have in regards to what you cannot figure out through reading and research.

It's quite easy to tune once you understand the basics of how the system works. It took me a little bit but I started off with 1250cc injectors that needed tuned in instead of a stock system (thanks Eric .

do i have to change my injectors or can it be tuned for now with stock b/c to my understanding it can be tuned with stock until like 15 psi and that it all that im am running right now

ecmlink is a tuning software package, you dont need to change anything. the ecmlink site has lots of info.

ECMLink works fine with stock injectors, and even stock cars. It's just a way to adjust air/fuel/timing and much more. The stock fuel system is only good for about 15psi. But if you want to upgrade your injectors you will need ECMLink to compensate for those injectors.

In reality, it would be best if people who were going to get ECMLink that that program was one of their first mods. Your car will run a lot better after getting it tuned with stock equipment, leaning out WOT and adding in timing. You'll be able to get your MAF frequency adjusted so it's more accurate and a lot of other things that are very beneficial.

If you have an aftermarket boost gauge, you can now turn your stock "boost gauge" into something useful. How about having it show when you are getting knock or letting it monitor your voltage (good to know).

Don't wait on getting it if you want to buy as you don't need aftermarket parts before you decide to tune your car. You'll be able to see what kind of changes each future part does since you will be logging/tuning for anything that alters fuel and air.
