    I hope tp meet up with Moonshine later this week and he will lend me his cable, so hopefully will be up and running shortly!

    Ok you get the software component from MTH. You can buy the cable from Sacha at OBD Interfaces. They do a usb version or a serial port version. If your laptop does not have Com ports definitely buy the USB version - DO NOT try to use a "cheap" USB to Serial interface with the serial cable - YOU WILL FAIL!

    You can read about the procedure here

    I have been running the MTH software for a good while now and am still really happy with it. I have had several free updates from Franz - the latest of which is for a 17% smaller pulley and some other mods, this new map will be installed once the hardware is in place

    i think all you need to let him know is cat back / hi flow cat / race header - brand is unimportant AFAIK
