Turbo Vic's failed attempt at becoming a tuner research thread SFW
 

i want to get into street tuning. i am buying all the stuff i need now to build ecus, tune, ect. i actually been reading alot of this info over the past 3 years and only retained about 3% of it. i am more of a hands on person. i have just about abandoned every other car forum, HMT is my new home. i basically made this thread to keep track of all my questions and to log my progress.

i am trying to keep this thread work safe!

i recently brought this innovate #3781 xd-16 standalone wideband kit.

i hope this was a good deal. the guy wanted $250 but i offered him $200. its new in the box. i guess its been opend a few times and was on display in his store. i checked ebay and seen they where going for $400 there so i fugred it was a good deal.

what you think?

is everything there?

Read the manual; it's on that cd and also on their website. That's the best way to learn.
