EFI Live or HPTUNERS are the best that I know of. Personally I would take a turbo truck to a pro for tuning due to the amount of things to consider. A turbo engine is usually a pretty big investment and it's best to not play with the tune too much.

1. No programmers.
2. There is no competent shops here that can tune a turbo LS. Champion Motors claim to know what they're doing (the only ones) but they're idiots, and charge beau coup money ($500 each and every time they plug HPT into your vehicle). So that's out.
3. This depends on where you are in Ontario. Find a reputable tuner that'll do e-mail logs and tunes and use my HPT cable.

Im not worried on the tunning aspect ive tuned lots of turbo honda's and a few AEM FIC. Im just looking into options. Ive never understood the HP TUNNERS LOL.
I just want to be able to tune the truck. I was looking at EFI LIVE also.
Bang for buck witch one is better?
As for where in ontario im from. Im from ottawa but posted in trenton. Not to many tunners near me other then one in toronto.
I like HP tuners and its vehicle credit program is a little more simple.

EFI Live and HPT is all user preference. Last I checked HPT Pro was a lot cheaper. It's also a lot more popular. But then again EFILive has more diesel capability, so it could make you a few bucks up in Trenton. You military guys love your diseasels (assuming Military when you said posted in Trenton)

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Lol am i missing something ???
I just looked at the HPT its $499 for the standard and $649 for the pro the only diiferences i can see is the pro has onboard datalogger ??
I want to be able to run a wideband into the VCM but do i need the pro over the std ??
