if you need a datalogging cable, you need to specifically order it. Are you doing your own tuning? if you're getting someone else to tune it, they'll probably bring their own equipment anyway

Hi again,How do they program the ecu though, if there is no pc plug? do they remove the chip and plug something into the zif socket.

Thanks

Typically, they will use their own ECU to do all the tuning. Then, once completely, burn the final maps to the chip, plug it into your ECU, and send you on your way.
