watch out for hp performance, they have horrible reputation and customer service about take 3-9 months to deliver a kit. check out b & g or ponydown. also head over to turbomustangs.com for answers to all your question.

for your question, i run an anderson pms and love it. easy to use and effective.

Megasquirt is abit simplistic and deals only with the fuel system. PMS and TwEECer are good do it yourself tuning devices if your looking to learn how to tune. I wouldnt recommend trying to tune a Turbo car as your first attempt though. Most people start outlearning to tune onan N/A car, more room for mistakes and much less chance of KABOOM!Letting a "reputable" local tuning shop dynotune your carwould beyour best option. They will probablybe able totune it with the device of your choice and if itblows up becuzof a tuning error its on them not you. If you do decide to tune it yourself, atleast make sure you have someone with tuningexperience help you out.
