OK, so. I bought one with a harness, boost solenoid and a VTPS.
As far as installation, I know it's different than the MSPNP. The harness will just hook up to the MS3x and the stock harness, correct?
Give me some ideas for where to mount this. Glove box a good location?
Can someone load me a file they have that I can use to get the car started or can I download it somewhere?
The boost solenoid, EBC Electronic Boost Control Solenoid Kit DIYAutoTune.com says to just put it between the boost source and the wastegate? Boost source needs to be closest to TB right?
The wiring for the VTPS. Wiring Up Auto (Variable) Tps - Forced Induction & N/A Power Mods - MX5Nutz Forum Correct or not?
I'm sure I will have more once I get it here in my hands. Thanks for any help.

Ok so I'm reading all this crap about the ms3x
http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/MS3XV30_Hardware-1.3.pdf
All of this is already wired correctly with a Braineack build ms3x right?
I should be able to just install the box, hook it up, load a default tune, and start tuning?

Tried a $25 serial to usb cable, still no luck.
I took the case off the ms3x and snapped some pictures. I'm not much of an electrical guy but I didn't see anything fried. I tried to get most of the capacitors/resistors in these shots.

Any help is appreciated. I have tried looking for posts related to this problem but none of them have helped.
