I am new to the grand national scene. I just purchased my first grand national and its also my first turbo car. My question is- when do i need to add a computer engine management system? I rebuilt my engine since buying the GN and my list of items under the hood and gauges i already have are below.. i do plan on turning up the boost some time after break in but i am not looking to drag this car. just gonna be a nice street car that does put out. I have a scanmaster on its way in the mail. Some of the stuff on the list does not have to do with my question but i copy and pasted everything and my rebuild list is:
