Welcome aboard :)
Do you have your cable? You have to go tactrix website for a download first....

Sure you'll love it, don't be shy and go for the high load map first off I'd say 8-)

it's like a home from home on here :D

I've got the Tactrix cable already - so I need to download the drivers from their site first?

and I also have a question about the os on my netbook. it's running XP SP2 - do I need to to install SP3 or should I install windows 7 instead?

it's just a stripped out netbook that's going to be used purely for tuning

I use XP SP3 with no problems. Ugnius may be able to say whether there will be any issues with SP2. Give it a go.

well I installed the high load map a couple of days ago and after 50+ miles everything seems to be settling in nicely :biggrin

I haven't been monitoring anything or making any logs yet, but hope to start this weekend if the weather gets a bit better

I'm still trying to get my head around the whole maf calibration thing :?

It's a head blag at first, but once you've done it once it becomes easy. If you're struggling, let us know.

I went for a blast last night mate... pretty impressive :jawdrop

it definitely feels better than the Hypertech - power delivery is much more linear and smooth

I like :D
