I'm gonna sound like a total newbie to this stuff, well because I am. I just purchased an MPI from johnboy6...
I see from the "maps" or pictures you guys have that when online it shows a/f mixture. Do you need a wideband for this, or does it calculate it using the factory front o2 sensor?
Other than a laptop, am I going to need anything else to start setting this up?

It gets it from the stock O2. You will be cutting into the O2 wire during the install. We found that that meter reads around 1 point leaner then a WBO2 will. When we did the dyno day, that's when we saw that. I would advise to go by what that meter says and not to try to tune it 1 point leaner, just in case, unless you have a WBO2 to go by.BlkZoomZoom said:I'm gonna sound like a total newbie to this stuff, well because I am.

You shouldn't need anything else, unless you do not have a DB9 serial port on the laptop. If you don't have that, then you'll need a USB to serial converter to be able to communicate with the unit.

Okay I recieved the MPI tuner today in the mail. I read and re-read the "MPI Tuner and turbo module installation" procedure sheets, however I have a couple of questions.
First question- steps # 16 and # 19 contradict each other, which one should I be using?
Sec. Question- steps #13 thru #15 refer to the "clamp" wires...I'm assuming they mean the same colored wires off of the turbo module, but I want to confirm this.
Th. Question- What exactly is a "SPST" switch?
Since I do not have my laptop yet (comes tommorow) I decided to load the software on my home pc. I ran into a few problems. I cannot read any of the manuals it tells me the path is blocked? -note doesn't seem to try to read them...it's trying to install something? I was able to install the actual MPI software, but when trying to access it asked for a code on drive a. I put the disk in (that came with the MPI) but it says no code is on the disk.
- also on a side note do you Have to install the bigger MAF sensor? That thing is massive....I can't imagine me needing it......
- If this isn't the place to be asking questions let me know, I'll move it..
Thanks for all the info.

let me find my instructions.

Do Both. I hooked mine up exactly how the instructions said.
Sec. Question- steps #13 thru #15 refer to the "clamp" wires...I'm assuming they mean the same colored wires off of the turbo module, but I want to confirm this.
Yeah, there are 2 white, purple and yellow wires. (yours may be different, I have the older module) Of the 2 colored wires in each step, just pick one, it doesn't matter.
Th. Question- What exactly is a "SPST" switch?
It's just a selectable point toggle switch (one side on, one side off), anyone from radio shack will do.

Okay, I had a problem the first time I installed the SW too. When I tried to load it, an installer would pop up. It turned out to be conflicting with another program I had on. If this is what yours is doing, then you need to remove that program.
The Key on the disk should be copied into the MPI_TUNER directory and it will not prompt you for the drive. It will ask you if you want to use the key it already found, once it's in the directory.
- also on a side note do you Have to install the bigger MAF sensor? That thing is massive....I can't imagine me needing it......
You can leave the stock MAF on if you want. The bigger MAF is for when you are going to have MUCH more power. It will create a lesser of a restriction in the air flow, thus ginving you more power. It is a bit more work to tune that thing at first. You basically will have to tune the entire range from scratch. With the stock one, you just need to help it a little here and there.

If you read the exact directions for step 16 and 19 you can't do both....
#16- " Install the red turbo module wire to pin #80, 12 volts key on."
#19- " Install the red wire on the turbo module to the red/white fuel pump feed wire." (The wire under the center console). " This is the only 12v key one source that you can use for the red wire in the turbo module. Do not use any other 12volt key on source."
Okay I got the key to work so I can actually get into the MPI tuner program. However I still cannot read the manuals. It is trying to install Adobe Acrobat 4.05c, I already have adobe acrobat 4..... It looks for a file on the disk that isn't there. Is this what yours did Bigg Tim? If so what did you delete?
I really appreciate the help, Anything I can do for you guys let me know.

Step 16 on the manuals is no longer used. Mine is:
16. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Step 19 is the new revision. Thats to prevent burned coils.

Thanx!!
Do you know what could be causing the other problem? I'm not, by anymeans computer savy.
