Justin, here's how it broke down for me, your mileage may vary:

-Eeprom Programmer (http://www.batronix.com) - Batronix EEprommer kit, with ZIF option = $49.50
Prog Studio Light License (use with EEprommer) $15
-29C256 Chip = $5 (http://www.moates.net)
- 28 Pin Low profile ZIF socket = $7 (http://www.moates.net)
Dual (15/30) wattage Radioshack soldering iron = $10
Solder sucker pump = $7 (Radioshack)
Desoldering braid = $3 (Radioshack)

This does not include shipping or tax, grand total of $96.30.

If you need an ECU, expect $50-75 in addition, and if you want to mod for ECUControl (of course you do!) you'll need the Max233 Adapter kit, which was $23. Again, this is minimal, you'll probably want to get a couple eeproms instead of just one, I got a little soldering tool kit at radioshack that was like $8, and you'll need some solder (duh). Hope that helps, -Z

BTW, this post should really either be in the Ghettodyne or General sections of the forum, this is for development related subjects.

Sorry, I was lookin @ the other forms an they dont seem to get as much traffic, next time i will post there. thanks. Oh yeah where can I pick up the max223 adapter kit?

anyone else?

im in about the same as zac, except i would suggest getting at least 3 of the 29c256's, and apparently batronix has jacked up the prices for the unit considerably. i went with the epromer5 from ustr.net for 99shipped from their ebay auction.

i payed about $10 because my freind works in a electronics shop with like a $1000 desoldering machine and a chip burner
