Prerequisite
You need the following:
Laptop running windows w/ at least 1 USB port.
Tactrix 2.0 Cable - DO NOT BUY THE 1.3 CABLE!! We need the power booster from the 2.0 cable for flashing.
EVOScan V2.9 (It's $25, don't be cheap! ) - After you purchase, download and install EVOScan, you'll need to add my custom 3000GT log file. NO other logging program available will support my patched ROM.
98/99 VR4 ECU w/ OBD2 connector and flash port (Don't believe boomslang includes this with their adapters)
Tuning Chromed ECU
It's finally here! Nearly every dark secrete locked away in that metal box behind your radio now exposed! This is the next best thing to stand alone engine management. Only this is the code the team of engineers designed for this car.
The best tuning guide for ECUFlash/EVOScan comes from Merlin and I've asked him for his assistance in creating a custom manual for Chrome!
Here's his guide for tuning an EVO: (right click, save as)
EVOm also has many great "how-to" links. Even though these threads/videos are based on the EVO, the 3/S share many similarities. Take your time to really read and understand what's all going on. If you have to watch the training videos a dozen times before it sticks, then so be it. It's a LOT to take in and you're not going to become an expert over night. I've been playing with this for about 5 years and I'm still learning new things all the time!
Must Read before using software!

These links should contain most of the info you need to know. Of course I'm available to assist with any questions you may have, but keep in mind, I can't educate every single person individually. There's no such thing as a stupid question but it's ridiculous to have to answer the same questions that are already answered in the links above. Even so, I will do my best to help where I can.
Take your time to read and learn all this! Read the Cromed ECU Manual!
