looking to start tuning... what hardware do I need for logging?
Ok so I've been reading a decent bit about how to tune and have gotten a pretty decent walkthrough by a guy that generally does this for a living. I'm pretty sure I'm ready to start the process of self-tuning.
Only problem is, I'm not totally sure what hardware I need for ECU flash/evoscan. I understand that I need the tatrix 2.0 cable, but I've been reading about people not being able to log boost/wideband a/f without certain hardware.
I already have an "analog" standalone wideband and boost guage in the car. Do I still need to purchase an AEM/Innovate in-line as well?
The car has a 3-bar MAP sensor installed on it from the factory. Already checked the part number against the JDM MAP sensor that people say to get on here all the time to log boost. Anything else I need for that or am I solid?

This is the cable I'm planning on getting. Once I get the wideband all wired up correctly to the ecu, I should need nothing other than this correct?

is it an actual wideband sensor or just a guage that displays "kinda" what AFR you are running
if it has a 5v analog output on it then you can wire it to the rear02 signal on the ECU and log "wideband" via that.
The only problem with the 5v analog is you NEED to be VERY VERY sure of your wiring, because any ground offsets will mean an incorrect voltage is hitting the ECU and thus your logs will be wrong.
You can test this by forcefully outputting different voltages on the wideband (Like in the LC1 LM Programmer) and then ensuring those voltages are being correctly seen by the ECU...
