TurboLink or DirectScan???

[rking]

I pretty much what to know which is better? Which is easier to use, which will offer me more, and which is the most useful? It will be going on a street/strip car that in the future will have a new FAST seq. system on it. Do I even need one of these if I am going to run the FAST? I already have a SM2, and it is great, but I want the car to tell me more and I would like to look at the info at a speed slower than 100. TIA

Both have their strengths and you have to decide what's important for you.

Take a look at:

to see some of the factors that might help you decide.

WHICH IS EASIER TO USE?

 

[Weazel]

Both sites ( www.turbo-link.com and www.chuengineering.com ) have some downloads, you can check through and see which one looks friendlier. Not having much experience with either, I can't totally help you. But TurboLink 3.0 looks WAY more user friendly than any dos based setup.

As Ken said, they both have their pluses and minuses. Depends on the level of detail/amount and speed of data you'll require.

Not sure about Turbolink, but if you go to the FAST unit, you wont be able to use Direct Scan because it plugs directly into the stock PCM (why it's called 'direct' scan).

They are both very easy to use, just different.

Have both programs and with the new upgrade in turbolink they are both great programs to use. Just a matter of what you decide.
