Hi Jon,

I can't say whether you should or not but can offer some things I 
thought about.

The X3 was fairly expensive for something I felt I wouldn't use very 
much. From the research I'd done it was more for "tuners", those people 
who are always looking to get the most power/fuel economy/etc. from 
their ECU.

For the "normal" masses, those who just want a solid, reliable engine 
without a penchant for perfectionism then the CPU as programmed by 
Bostig seems like a good way to go. At least for me.

There's one scenario where I thought that it would be nice to have. 
That's if something wasn't quite right with the setup Bostig has 
programmed and it would need to be tweaked to work properly for me.

Having the X3 means they could just send me a new set of instructions to 
upload to the ECU, as opposed to me having to pull the ECU and send it 
to them for reprogramming.

Hope this helps,
Harry
