Have you considered chipping your current ECU with something like Uberdata or Crome instead?

ye but I tired to use TurboEDIT but its hard to change the Ignitiopn and Fuel maps and no1 will help me

[Drew]

Try uberdata or crome the support generally is better

Theres basemaps n such for a lot of FI applications already that you can use and just tune so you dont start from scratch

ye, tuning is hard, got any writeups on how to tune? sorry for being a n00b but no1 ever helps me with this stuff

you wouldnt want to tune ur self might blow ur engine mate... dont take the risk unless you know what you are doing ..

mate of mine playing arround with AEM EMS .. on his car.. take it for a run on freeway .. 5 mins ... BANG ...

oil every where. smokes coming out. when we open the engine .. 2 piston melted to the crank and the shaft was bent... engine block had a big hole on the bottom.

and thats N/A .. wonder what turbo will look like ..

you can try APEXI NEO or VAFC/SAFC to tune ur car .. cheaper some website has the configuration for turbo using VAFC .. i found it b4 ..

It's not that it's hard but you will need a whole lot of stuff to tune it with, not counting a dyno probably close to a grand of stuff give or take

So it's normally better to pay someone else if its a one off...

If you're going to be doing more than one car or multiple tunes for the same car then yeah it could be worth while

Uberdata had some pretty decent tutorials if you would even take a moment to use google to find their forum

[Drew]

Just get a OBD1 ECU from a newer car maybe?

[serpo]

[Drew]

Used what Crome?

Sounds like you are turboing an N/A, I probably wouldn't recommend an Apexi Neo. It only adjusts AFRs and ideally I would think you'd want to adjust ignition timing as well. Perhaps in tandem with an Apexi Super ITC if you find it, but something like the eManage would be good (or I'm sure one of the other suggestions).
