Another Fuel Management Option for Boosted 8's?

I saw this finally came out and it looks like this might be another option instead of an Int-X or EMU. Plus it's not that expensive. The only challenge is integrating into the harness.

I didn't see where it was specifically listed for the RX-8. Did I just miss it? It's not expensive, and from a quick glance it looks like it functions like an Emanage.

It hasn't been validated for the RX-8 but it sounds like its supposed to be universal. Like a VAFC but much better. The only kits that will be car specific means they have an adapter harness shipped with it.
It doesn't control as many injector channels as the e-manage.
It only has 3 ignition channels, so you can't split up the leading and trailing ignition.
It only retards timing, not advance it like you can on the e-manage.
It does not have any auxiliary channels for controlling open/closed loop devices.
It does not (currently) support the RX-8 ESS signal/timing. (This is also the problem with the real AEM universal stand-alone).
At only $30 less than the EMU, it isn't really a bargain, even if it did work.
Plus, you must handle your own wiring.
For another $165, you can get an RX-8 specific wiring harness, an O2 sensor dongle and a pressure sensor all in a kit along with the EMU.

PM me your number if you get a chance.
Has Dave done anything else with his '8?
Play with the "magic juice" yet? It would probably work nice in this weather.
