What's up guys,

Although I am still dreaming of the day I will hear my Evo start again :( I've been thinking of my next steps.

Engine management is critical to me. I live in a remote location from the rest of the Evo world so #1 any type of flash tuners are going to need to have a way for me to send them my logs to get a decent tune. #2 I would also like the ability to make adjustments, been tuning boosted EFI GM vehicles the past couple years. Tuned my supercharged Saturn Ion Redline to 340whp 280tq, very fun little machine. I feel confident saying I know the "basics" of Fuel, Air, Spark. Only programs I have actually had a look at for the 4G63 is DSM Link.

Knocking reading abilities is definitely a no-brainer, absolute must. Instead of writing a novel I'll keep it simple, which ECU/Tuner/Programmer will fit the needs of my Evo 4 best?

Launch Control
Switchable Anti Lag
Knock Monitoring ie via CEL and the programmer
Switchable Maps
Tweaking Abilities
Ties in external widebands pretty easy(Which widebands are preferred by most UK Tuning shops).

And lastly, I know that when you throw the Evo 6 ECU in the Evo 4 the pins are exactly identical; 21, 32, 33, 34, 40, 60, 74, 77, 79 I believe. I would like to retain vital factory readings like Exhaust Gas Temp, 02 Sensor, and all other engine "Saftey" parameters. As you may be able to tell I have blown a few engines in my "learning" process with HPTuners and its a terrible feeling I don't want to feel much more :razz:

Thanks for any input on the matter fellas!

Cheers
