Thanks for the help everyone espeically Broni who stuck with me the longest
I Went and got the hard drive out and picked up an Enclosure from radio shack and we got all his AEM EMS tuning maps off the hard drive and he got his car tuned right running at its usual 12psi today.
Unfortunately me opening up the laptop so many times made the already weakening FFCs for the monitor display fail almost completely (really gotta mess with it to get a picture), so I guess the computer is just a paperweight now, not like it was a big loss anyways...just as long as we got the hard drive data
