However, I would think it would be worth spending the extra $20 through Tim; that way you have a good custoimer relation and an easy point of cantact if something goes wrong with it.

Just don't make any needless, idiotic remarks while you're there

I was re-reading this thread, and found this.

Nathan I wasn't aware that the plx required you to touch your ecu? from the looks of it it's not that way. It's pretty much plug/n/play. The Zeitronix did require (at least from I remember yo telling me) that some wires did have to be cut into the ecu, but it was only a handful.

From what I have seen on PLX installs, they require you to tap into the EVP sensor voltage circuit. This essentially disables your EGR function unless you add a DATAQ system. The Zeltronix was the only one that I confirmed didn't require me to hack my harness. (Provided you don't run the NB emulation for the ECU) Its just one sensor which runs to the controller and the serial cable to the laptop.

If I am wrong, someone please correct me because I stared at the "submit order" button last night for about 2 hours!

Wait a minute - you're saying you have to hack a pin in the EEC to use it, even if you don't run narrow band emulation? It's not stand alone?

I thought they were ALL stand alone units, unless you were datalogging them with a tweecer through your EVP or DATAQ?

I'm pretty sure with NB emulation that you have to tie into the harness somewhere. But when I say "hack the harness" I mean something along the lines of cuting wires. (Even if it is for the EVP) I don't like making those kinds of modifications unless I absolutely have to, which is why I am leaning towards the Zeitronix unit. From what I have seen you just plug the DB9 Serial connection into your laptop and set CalCon to read it.
