Probably the most straight forward answers I have ever seen. LoL..


You do need a palm to run the 2.1


What do you mean by crispy wires? Do you mean the insulation?

The only thing to worry about the wires being crispy is if it runs now. You won't need to change any wires to get the 2.1 working only for add-ons. The good news is that if you do want to add a wideband or such, it only needs one wire at the cpu and those are usually only messed up by bad AFC installs.

IF your wires are really screwed up at the ecu then find a spare harness online and splice in new connecttors. Thats what I did and it worked great! I am eventually going to re wire my injectors as well, new connectors, and wires to the ecu.
