to those with interceptor-x
I'm looking at my option on turbo kits at this time. The only one I know that can be used with the interceptor-x is the Greddy one, correct? If not, what other turbo kit can I use? I want to stay away from the greddy one since the turbo was designed for a R/C car.
I also want to know how is the drivability of this ECU. Does it feel pretty much like what the car came from the factory?
I heard that this ECU is based on a microtech, can it control any 2 rotor motor or even a 3 rotor and keep atleast the stock gauges?

my understanding is that mazmart will provide a custom map according to what you have on your car, and of course the map for a turbo will go deeper in the psi range for you to up boost

SSR sells a "tuner kit" which comes with no fueal management, so you would be able to use the interceptor with that. PTP will come with the HKS F Con V Pro, which is pretty much the best on the market, so no need to swap that out.

Thats true, everyone was complaining about the TSI (ric shaw), and now the interceptor is like 1600 and people are all over it. Is the interceptor that much better?

The latest info I have heard was that over the fall months , we will be able to flash the oem ECU, If this is true, would that make these after market ECU piggy backs obsolete or would there still be a purpose for them...

Someone will offer new "flashes" for the stock ecu fairly soon but we are still a ways off from being able to just plug in and tune it outselves. Standalones will never be obsolete. Look how many different options are still used on other cars.
