A wiseman once told me..... scanmaster for daily driver use...... and directscan for track visits..... I got the directscan first.... and love it. I would like a scanmaster at some point..... just can't turn loose of the $$ at the moment. I use an audible knock detector in my car daily... to keep me informed of bad knock. IMHO that should be in everyones turbo Buick.. if they are running higher than stock boost.
