I've been out of the Buick game for about 3 years because of other priorities. Back when I got into Buicks roughly 10 years ago I picked up Turbolink as a scantool. Great for reading codes and setting the TPS sensor. Due to slow refresh rates I was never comfy trying to tune on the fly with it. I sold it and picked up Directscan. It works great but wont run under windows so I have to have a very old laptop and carry around the cabling to connect it. Kind of a pain. Last summer a buddy of mine showed me the link to the new Powerlogger scantool and based on what the website shows...its a pretty good and modern scantool. The USB interface is much more convenient than the previous method. Running under XP means I dont need multiple computers which I like as well. SO...with that said...have many people used it and what are the opinions of it? I am ready to buy right now but I want to hear some feedback first before I sell my Directscan setup.
Please discuss.

moreover, attached is a logfile from a 9 second pass. (twin turbo stage 2, not mine)

note:
RPM's can go over 6375, and the rev limit in his chip is 6500 or so.
17 - 18 psi for a 9 second run means the next time out will be FUN

Logger

The Power Logger rocks! Not to mention the support is second to none.
 
You absolutely can't go wrong with the Powerlogger. Support can't be beat, equipment is the best you can find!!!!!

That was fascinating looking at that run!! I found the graph display of MAF most intertesting. Was that on a TPro equipped car? I thought at first the numbers should have been higher, but then realized it was pretty low boost run.
Still fun to look at.
