    Does the LTX12s have a tacho output?
    If it does, wire it up to the tacho.

    If it doesn't, you'll probably need to do one of those diode arrangements, from the coil -ve wire.

    If it has a tacho out, wire it up and see if it works.
    If it doesn't, you may need a tacho booster.

    Have a search through the Microtech Forums, see if there is any help there.

    Im having a look now Haha

    Again correct me if im wrong, According to the MicroTech website, They just have a Tacho output so maybe it is just a matter of hooking it up (famous last words)

    What about resistors etc ??

    Nothing is needed if it works, but I'm not sure if the output on the Microtech, it may need a booster. In which case, have a search for the tacho booster thread, and build your own for $2.

    Yes you'll need a booster to get the tacho working. You can build your own or go buy one. MSD part number is 8920.
