Link G4x Training Course
Link G4x training course starts with the basics of downloading and installing the PCLink software. Basic functions such as fuel, ignition and idle programming are covered as well as more advanced features such as anti-lag, rev limiters, traction control, closed loop PID control and much more. Each new tuning feature covered in the training series gets a new page layout created within the PCLink software with a logging template so you can make the most of your tuning using Link!
