I really wish they make a new socket for the existing cable to plug in and coming out of the tune box is another socket to plug back into the car. All this popping pins out and replacing it is a pain. Especially, when you have to take it in and out for service. Also, it's a method to reduce install error and increase overall product satisfication.
Just my 2 cent

I believe the Vishnu can only accomodate up to 4 imputs/outputs. The Helix unit is pretty darn state of the art as piggybacks go. I'm not aware of any on the market that are more feature rich, and it's pretty darn cheap.

The whole unit is $799.
It comes loaded with two maps of your choice. You can change from one to the other on the fly with a switch.

You probably want to install yourself, because you want it off whenever you take it to dealer.

true, but i read in another thread for a different piggy back that to install you have to get under the car and screw something off. I'm assuming this means lifting the car off the ground somehow? And I don't think I'm that brave.

On the 135 I think the ECU based piggys (Like Helix, Procede, JB, AA, etc) will prove to be easier to install.
