ANYTHING is better than the Microtech for this application.
I'd rather go with Claudio's recommendation of the Haltech Sprint (or whatever its called) than saddle another hapless user with the Microtech.
It just really isn't an acceptable solution for a modern, road-going automobile.

I have a question regarding the Int-X. I bought one and had to get it repaired and is getting fixed now, but I was curious if you tune your car with it, and then unplug it, will the factory ecu power settings still remain or will it go with the Int-X when removed?

So, say for some reason I had to take it to a mazda dealership to get it checked out. If I pulled out the Int-X and the wiring it'll revert back to its origonal OEM settings? The ignition and fuel won't be screwed up?

I bought mine and repaired for about $250, I couldn't find an AP for cheaper or close to it. What advantages does the AP offer over the Int-X? So far the people I've talked to only have had one or the other and not both to give a decent enough feedback. One of the memebers I've talked to (I got my exhaust from him) had an AP and he said that it said he had about 260hp. I know thats not true no matter how you look at it. Sorry for the newbie questions, but I am new to chips and ecus, I'm more of a wrench guy.

I've used both and know I know at least one other person in this thread has also. The interceptor will work to run your car. The way it works is drastically different than the AccessPort and there are pros and cons to either. Both can be made to work well if you take the time to learn them.

while i agree that there are applications for anything... a street driven vehicle, your average DD, or enthusiast with FI would be better off clubbing someone they hate with it

I've used or been around both, along with the emanage. The microtech is a dinosaur. it takes some very skillful trickery to even get it to idle really well.
