"A car without turbo is a car with perpetual lag"

Ds-map / Jackal, highly recommended.  I've been running it for the last 3 - 4 years.  Amazing improvement in throttle response and overall power under part throttle conditions, and that was with the old maf still in place for 2 years.  Amazing tuning platform in my opinion, and best of all free.

So I did.


boat = $$$
lifejackets =$
gas = $$

beautiful day on the river = priceless

hey, and this thing has dual belts running in parallel,  perhaps our talons should have dual t-belts........

If anybody's DSM ever makes it as far as Terrace without breaking,  I'll take ya fishin'.
