The tables you have access to in romraider ecuflash brzedit or ecutek are similar, ecuteck has quite a few extra features as their software also includes rom code patches to add extra functionallity and features. The other systems just give you access to read edit and flash the existing rom tables.
I would not recomend anyone trying to tune a turbo or sc car from scratch unless you are quite experienced with tuning.
if you bought say a sbd kit that comes with an open base tune, it possible with a bit of reading you could tweak the base tune to run a bit better. Although fiddling first time with a 10 psi tune can be dangereous.
maybe cut your teeth doing some NA tweaks then maybe work up to boosted, but id suggest you tread very carefully and start with a base tune and kit like the sbd, and maybe the lower boost 7 psi version
the logging is were your likely to run into issues as with tactrix its fairly raw and you need to know ecu ram addresses.
you might be better buying an open flash tablet or brzedit or even ecutek as you can make your own maps with ecutec

and talk to the speed by design guys i think it about the only opensource tune and matching kit arround. Dont try and use the tune on a different kit whole kit turbo piping intercooler wastegate the lot must match else you risk serious engine damage |
I don't post very often but I came to say that I did almost EXACTLY this. Started off with an OFT using the canned tunes on NA and just looking at the logs. Got a SBD turbo kit that came with an OFT base tune for it. Ran just the base tune for a thousand or so miles until I got brave and started tweaking it ever so slightly (started with just some closed loop fueling tweaks). Tons of revisions on the OFT and I decided to scoop up an OpenPort 2.0. 20k miles later I'm running like my 30th revision of my E85 turbo tune and am now considering switching over to Ecutek to see what goodies are available there.
Also your guides helped immensely, seriously.
