I will let you know when I get the kit from UPS tomorrow. I'll look at the emanage unit and see if there is a USB port. If there is a USB port, I should be able to tune it with the emanage software.

I've never had a stock emanage, but if it's exactly like the CZ, there is a usb looking port, but the pins are slightly different, I once plugged my cz usb programming cable in backwards - it fit just right, but didn't function. So I'm pretty sure a regular usb cord wouldn't work.

It won't come with the cable (it isn't a USB cble - it is propritary, though it looks like USB) because it won't have the support tool.

You will need those to extract the maps and do any tuning.

I've devoted my time and my money to my 2nd gen Turbo II buildup or I would be right behind you ordering my own Greddy kit.

Well, I gues it depends on the turbine side. If the A/R is big enough and the wheel is clipped it might not be so bad.
The compressor side looks like it is sized for pretty low boost, though.

Maniac, what sort of turbo system are you using? Did you run dynos?
