i hope u read the instruction from Apexi, they do not recmmand installing the vafc2 with T-tabs..........Not a good idea, u would of been better off buying a obd2a extension with or without the pnp pigtail so u dont need to cut into the factory harness.

IMHO your a fucktard if you dont buy the Harness. What happens when your tuning options are limited to the VAFC and you need more like the Greddy Emanage or a PGM-Fi? you have this cut to **** harness now. Save the time and trouble and buy the harness and do it right the first time. What happens when you outgrow the prelude and want to sell? The new owner probably wont know **** and rip it out ******* them over totaly....plus how can you not stand the ease of just plugging in some wires and being done.

I for one have passed up a few VAFC's just because they had cut up the harness to hack into their ECU.....Im just a picky buyer though

you're a fucktard if you do buy the harness.....the only reason to get a vafc is if you don't want to spend money on hondata....with the cost of the harness you might as well get hondata

it's simple cut, splice, wrap with electrical tape to make sure

just don't cut to close to the harness so if you want to take it off you can just reconnect the old wires with a new connector
