The EMS8860 is now compatible (I think) with the BA where as before only the Stinger wasThe EMS 8860 now has a auto tune feature which allows a very accurate tune, especially around the cruise areas.For the DIY definately. If you pay to get it done make sure the installer/tuner knows the computer totally, not just has installed a couple.But it cant do the diff ratio

Otherwise it will only ever be a piggy back system.

If you pay to get it done make sure the installer/tuner knows the computer totally, not just has installed a couple.dw....the only tuners to install ems succesfully are v/e rigoli, g/tech with my help and yours trully!!!But it cant do the diff ratio←the ems is great to prove a point to get the best out of what you have etc but for best results use it with edit to do the other functions!!!
