It will connect like an ITC, 2 in, 2 out.

i thought it would be 3 connections too

as there are three wires that go to the PTU for each pair of coils...

ok im trying to use my laptop and i have no ide what im doing. how do i save tunes and load tunes and adjust values? im guessing an XDF tune? and when i register will it still work with everything i have now. cuz its a different version. what are the differences between using laptop and using keypad

[Rustang Cobra]

for me personally, i only use the laptop to log stuff, i make adjustments on the keypad, its 10x easier and more straightforward

[TurboBob]

be sure you have installed the version that came with the unit. It will install the base files on your computer.

There are a few types of files.

XDF: This is the definition file that describes all the tuning locations in the pro, you don't edit this. Tuner Pro uses this to know how to display the data on the screen. You do need to select what XDF to use, its in the bin definitiuons directory. Select tpro4002.xdf

ADS: this is the logging definition file, it tells tunerpro how to interpret and display the logging data. You dont edit this file, but you do need to select it before TunerPro will log data.

BIN: the bin file is the file that is used by the Translator Pro to run the car. There is already one in the Pro, you can Download from the Pro to the laptop (Tunerpro calls the MAFT Pro an 'emulator'), you can Upload a bin from the laptop to the Pro.

Once you have the XDF selected and the Bin loaded (or downloaded from the unit) you can edit it, save it and/or re-upload it.

But the keypad is really easy to use, and I would suggest you try it first.

for logging, you need to select the correct .ADS file (Tpro4002.ads) in the datastreams directory.

Then you click the double-arrow button at the top of the screen to begin logging.

Click the M (monitor) button to see log traces
Click the D (dash) button to see numerical values.

right click on a graph or numerical display to see the list of displayable data.

To save a log, you must first select a filename in the ALDL/Monitor menu. Then just click the "Red Dot" button and the laptop will save the logfile.

There is a lot of info in the help files, or post more questions.....

I just placed my order. I should have it here by next week.

If I can get it tuned by next Friday, then we should have some track results. Does anyone have any track results / dyno numbers with the MAFT-Pro on a 3/S yet?

I've read all the documentation on the maftpro.com website, and read most of the threads on the fullthrottle forum. There were some screenshots on the website, but I was wondering if anyone could post some screenshots of the tuner pro software connected to a 3/S, specifically showing some logs.

[Rustang Cobra]

i'm dyno'ing on the 24th september, i dunno if it'll increase my numbers, im just hoping to see a nice flat a/f curve on the dyno

logging on the 3/s is the same as any other car, those screenshots on fullthrottletech look exactly like they do on my software

turbobob, i sent you a pm, and hopefully you will be able to answer most of my questions soon because i would like to order this by this weekend.

I also have a few other questions..
with the boost soleniod, what settings do you use? it is like a normal EBC with set/gain/etc or are there other settings? also, how does the boost controller interact with the MAFTpro? (like, does it self adjust based on certain aspects?)

i read the install website you put up cobra, but am a little lost with the wideband part. i will probably ask more detailed questions when/if i buy this item, but what type of wideband sesor is required? i know you can buy a bosch sensor for $79 without any of the electronics that accompany it.. would this work for this application? also, is there a wideband readout built into the pro? (if i tune via wideband, i will also have a EGT guage so i can see if something goes drastically wrong)

Thanks for the help!

One question on how to wire in a wideband. I have a PLX M300. It has a single output for logging (white wire) but no ground for this. If I connect the white (+) wire to the MAFTPro input do I need to run the ground wire from the wideband ground in MAFTPro to the ground for the M300 or can I just connect that white wire to the MAFT Pro input.

Also, how is the wiring diagram for the 98-99s coming along. I think I have it figured out but I want to double check my work.
