Btw, the 996 tune is worthless without all the other mods. All the flash does is allow the computer to adjust to having a bigger MAF (which even by itself does nothing).

The hardware will cost $400ish for a genuine samtec unit, courtesy of Chinese pirates

The software is a different story. If you're good with pcs, it will cost you nothing but time and a quick trip to mega.nz. if not, the pirates will sell you a working clone but that ups the bill (I wanna say another $800).
