So I was originally planning on getting a J&S with monitor and a RRPFR, but for a little more $ I could get a Link. So now I need to know whats the difference between this: http://www.carmodifications.com/Link_Poducts_files/products-index-link-plugin.htm and this: http://www.carmodifications.com/Link_Poducts_files/products-index-link-linkplus.htm
Link ECU question

Well, neither of the links are working, but judging from looking at it, one of them is for the plug and play Link Plus system and the other is the wire in type. I have the plug and play Link setup on my car, which requires zero wiring hassle to get the car running. The other alternative is the wire in, in which you have to find the correct wires coming from the factory harness and solder them to the Link Plus. Also, the plug and play takes 2 minutes to remove and put back in, so the factory ECU can go back on quite easily. If I were you, I would get the plug and play, it is a simple install, albeit your paying $150 more for the wiring harness.

Woops my bad, they should work now. Anyways, yeah your right, it is to the Link2 and the plug-in Link. I'm sold on the whole plug and play aspect, but I just wanted to make sure that they both have the same features. And which plug-in model should I get? I dont see one for an RS. And why is it cheaper than the other one? Is it just because it doesn't come in its own housing?
So this is the plug and play unit http://www.carmodifications.com/QPD_plug_and_play_computer.htm right?
Cool, I bought my Link last week from Andrew for the same reason,as the other two costing about as much. He said three other people besides me had them coming for Subys. He and other people have said tuning it for N/A is a good way to learn tuning it because it's harder to blow your shiot up. I forget where but I think you can download the software and maybe play around with it just on the computer. When the wideband option comes out we can upgrade to that. Now I gotta find cheapass worthy laptop. Woohoo.
www.i-speedusa.com Been playing around with it a little. Very spiffy. Hey Graham, is your link doing good for you and is their anything you don't like about it? Cold start ? Thanks for any input. Later, Tod

Spiralsmirf- You might not want to use the Link with your 03' WRX engine. Try to get the ECU from the factory, that is your best bet. If you did use the Link, wiring would be a nightmare, and I don't even know if it could control the AVCS.
The only PnP ECU you can put in a 2000 RS with factory motor is the QPD unit, no one else makes PnP.

graham. i'm gonna use a haltech or sds digital unit and you don't need to control avcs if you don't want it, it will function like stock if its not controlled. also the wiring to install the jdm ecu would be a pain in the ass.
