    For the $$, Holley's Commander 950 is pretty hard to beat. Lots of options and the luxury of tech support. Not alot of base maps for turbo 4s though...

    Custom cal - made by yourself so you can adjust it as needed.

    With Dcal and now CHEM2 if you have a smec or LM car it's pretty simple with just a wideband O2 gauge. Cost for the Flashable SMEC is $130ish or less. D'loading either a 2 bar cal or a 3 bar cal for numerous injectors free. Having the car tuned with the right a/f ratio and no knock. Priceless

    You can still get chips for any of the ECUs that will work readily, and affordably.

    If you can afford it, a stand alone (I run FAST) is amazing.
