No, probably not. It is cheaper than using the Cobb unit and getting their tuning software, but same end result. The Cobb unit uses tha same concepts but with less work involved and some fun features.

Charles really knows his stuff guys... this tutorial is priceless if you're thinking about self-tuning your ride. Do as much reading as possible and learn from what others have to say. You can never have enough knowledge!

I do not know if that exists. You can however run your mac in a windows envirnoment and then run the program. Many of these types of programs are not supported on mac

Not at all. There are a number of softwares available for you mac that let you run xp or vista on it. Some require you to shut down and restart in windows, others let you run it within a window itself

I have a macbook pro myself. SPT uses a mac pro with dual screens and runs one screen as windows, and the other as mac os sometimes
