Map switching cable - Anyone still make one for sale??

I have found the plans to build a MAP switching cable.

If there was a source for a preassembled cable that would be easier than sourcing all the parts for a one time build.

I was think of going to V7 but without map switching many of the benefits are lost.

Links, Thoughts?

Thanks

Lucky for you, you do not need the physical map toggle switch. V7 has an option where you can switch maps by holding down the throttle for a preset number of seconds.

Very good resource ^.

If you want to try and build one yourself, here is a schematic with toggle switch and resistor values. It even calls out all the part numbers. The goal is to safely pull an ECU pin up to about 5 volts. The pin is different on the evo 8s and the 9s, but this shows both. The choice is yours, but it's MUCH cheaper this route.
