    Default budget tuning.

    Hey all, I have been out of this DSM game for sometime now and Im going to pick it back up! I have had this 1g auto all wheel sitting in my garage for a few years now and Im finally going to put it back together. I have a pile of perf. parts from when I was going to finish it but now Im questioning some of the parts and the direction I want to go with it. My goal: mid 12 seconds.(trying to be realistic for an auto and my budget) I have this HKS VPC, Im wondering if I should use that to tune with or sell it for a maft and an safc. Im looking for opinions and Ideas. Thanks ahead for any input ahead of time.

    VPC was the bomb back in the day. The bad thing is now there really arent any replacement parts/pieces for them so if you base everything off of that and you have an issue you're going to have problems later on down the road.

    I personally would look for a more updated way of tuning such as DSMLink. I will have all the DSM Link stuff active on the site shortly so you can get everything you need from us.

    Dsm Link is light years ahead of just about everything except standalone and link is getting close.

    I will say that having used them all that the flashable ecu is the CLOSEST to standalone, even just in its speed alone, Dsmlink has come a long way and its locally owned by a couple of dsm guys and thats a big plus too!
