2003 Evo VIII tuning cable question

New to the forum but not so new to Evo's and needing a little help. I want to make sure I order the right tuning cable for my car and it seems there are several different ones that some say work and others say do not work for the car. I searched the forum and could not find the answer I need.

So, Is there anyone who could help me with purchasing the correct cable and or adapter to flash my car. It is a 2003 Evo 8 and it already has a protune but I want to be able to changed small things myself and have some background in tuning other brands of imports.

Will the Tactrix open port 2.0 work? http://www.tactrix.com/index.php?pag...mart&Itemid=53

Exactly man, there's so many different options and not alot of clarity on what works.
I've been trying to research tephramod and evoscan/flash as well to see which would be better for me but not having much luck there either. The last tuning software I used was with UpRev engine management on my Nissan.

The 2.0 works but the 1.3U supposedly logs faster. Just get the 1.3U and call it a day.

Okay so I'll try and find the 1.3. Would you recommend tephra or ecuflash/evoscan?

Doesn't matter get whatever you can get the better deal on. I bought a used cable and unfortunately it does not have a license for ecuflash so I have to flash roms with evoscan. No big deal I can still use ecuflash I just can't flash and read roms from the ecu without evoscan.
