I had a quick look see for ya and IMO the MTX is the better option as you can still connect a laptop to the thing for mapping purposes but this ones
has a gauge for you to see things real time whilst driving.
Are you using this for self diagnosis/tuning purposes whilst driving instead of having a rolling road do the tuning?

I havent had any luck with innovate stuff. First one I had was very sensitive to ignition noise, and the LM2 i have now has been extremely unreliable
with its logging. The SD card slot has now failed completly on it. Some people seem to love them though.

First one was through mario velotta who sells the VW efi kits in USA. Would drop out and glitch badly, cured mostly by moving the unit away from the
noise. The second one was from a large US retailer, i forget which. It will still work as a live readout but that isnt much use in a drag car.

On the advice of a friend, who had a lot of experience with these units, I fitted a Heat-Sink Bung Extender. It was expensive, but evidently it
protects the Lambda sensor.
My MX-1 has given no trouble, and I tend to glance at it more often than I thought I would. It takes the guess-work out of tuning for altitude/weather changes.

Anton [Anton's Race Electrics], who I mentioned above, got hold of all the 'stuff' I needed from the local distributors. Fitting was simple....I
welded the M18 thread in, just before the muffler.
