If you have ever refitted your 4mm vacuum hoses for silicone hoses (a must do in my opinion), you will have noticed a little black box with three hoses connected to it. Have you ever wondered what that box does? I sure have.

The box works as a control for the turbo bypass valve, when the box is disconnected the turbo bypass valve is "hooting" a little under light throttle. This is kept under control by this valve, reducing the noise under the hood. When you bypass this valve you will get a more responsive throttle feel.

I was eagerly anticipating this device, the Innovate OT-2. And after a little delay on approving the iPhone application by Apple it's finally here! But what's the fuzz about?!

In the pre OT-2 ages we all bought a ELMscan or something resembling this to read the error codes on our beloved Saab's. With the laptop in the car you could also monitor some of the OBD-2 functions. however when you want to export the logged data to something readable you would have to buy something expensive like PCMscan or ScanXL. When you add some fancy measuring to your car (Exhaust gas temp. and Wide band lambda) you will need to find a way to feed those in your laptop.

These troubles are finally over with the OT-2. Not only can you save and export to logworks, but you can daisy chain other innovate products to this OBD-II logger.  I think my wishes are heard with this tool!

Now to just find the cash to order the complete set of innovate goodies (EGT, LAMBDA, OT-2) to get all the data we need out of our beloved Saab!
