Hi Sjoerd,

Could you clarify the question?

By definition stand alone engine management are flexible, configurable engine management units which can be used in any situation street/race/whatever. By 'street use' do you have a particular requirement you are trying to fufil? Please elaborate.

For what its worth I use a LinkG4. It seems they have a dealer in Belgium ->Custom Import Arts, Servaas Daemsstraat 83, Noorderwijk 2200, BELGIUM

Any standalone is capable of what you ask. The tune is what will give you full usage of the vehicle and why getting a pro tune is recommended.

Yeah... I agree.....what MLM said. Hahaha

You can't have your girl smelling excessive fuel, or watching you tinker under the hood on the side of the street somewhere! Do it right the 1st time and get a stand alone system tuned properly. Put the key in....start it....go drive and have fun 8)

Cheers,
