Both ways work better than trying to get the O2 housing bolts out in the car.....i just don't like messing with fluid lines if I don't have to
Never gave that way a thought

LC-1 is a great unit and not hard to put in at all. While you're at it you can get a JDM map sensor to log boost and have all the info you could ever want.

If your laptop doesn't have a serial port I have USB to serial adapter you can have. Or get the PCMCIA Serial adapter which IMO is a lot easier to use.

Plus there are a lot of great rom patches and add-ons you can do if your interested. As dave said 2byte load is a must if not already done.
I would def. appreciate some help...let me know when a good time would be for you...in he mean time ill look into the wideband

travis is defintely the man you want.

hey travis, by the way, i heard you swapped your exhaust manifold for a ported one recently. how did all that go?

the evo 8/9 manifolds are the same right?

i am pretty certain they are, but just wanted to make sure the flange for the turbo was the same.
