Okay first things first. Please use the search function and you will find at least 3 tutorials. There is no software to buy, only the cable. The reason its "not working" for you is you dont have a .hex file downloaded yet. Go to OpenEcu.org, join, then look in the Evo VIII section and download one to look at. They are very easy to find.

THEN research. If this is your first time ever tuning EFI EVER, dont touch your car until you fully understand what changes affect what.
