Just wondering if I should spend the 500 for a used gen 6 and plugn play to get all my guages to work. Is this system any good for turbos??I know its old and outdated.. am I better off keeping my stock 96 computer?

ehh, i was planning on keeping the stock PCM this year..if its not worth it..then i wont do it. its either this one or nothing,im just trying to get the car up and running by may. im mainly focusing on having the turbo kit 100% done and perfect. Thats why im putting a basic motor in. Im going to build the car/turbo kit for now..then put a good motor/dfi in.

I originally bought a Gen 6 from a member on this board, but quickly realized it wasn't going to be much bette than the stock PCM and it was hard to find anyone to tune such an obsolete system. Ended up biting the bullet and bought a FAST Bank-to-Bank w/ WBO2 and am very happy.
