nah it works good. Iv heard people switch from the hks to sparktechs ignition and saw a night and day difference. If your going to spend the money on a hks dli just replace the ignition and go with sparktechs cop. I think its only like a $50 diffrence. I personally have an okada ignition and my car is 500hp with no issues. So if you dont have the money buy the okada if you have the money buy sparktechs.

How old is your DLI unit?
I remember a past discussion that basically led to the HKS harness as being the culprit.

Honestly, like 2 years ?? Ish... but, dont tell HKS that.. :P hahaha... it seems like the LED on the unit lights up and kinda is dim till you rev up and then it gets brighter.. i dont have another cable to test your theory.. but, im willing to spend $20 instead of $500 haha...  any suggestions ?? I cant seem to get ahold of HKS and the people i bought my unit from are out of business so, yea... it's running right now.. but, kinda crapy since im used to that box... haha
