If your going to go with a microtec in a FC here is the best way to do it..
Buy a LTX8 w/wide band input and get the wide band o2 kit and the 3 bar map sensor. I'd also recomment getting the dash as well.. Use a FD upper and lower intake manifold and FD throttle body also use the FD front cover and crank/tdc sensors and the water pump and water pump housing... you will need to let them know you are using the FD TPS, crank sensors, water temp and air temp sensors when you order it so they can preprogram it to run on those sensors. You can use the stock coils or aftermarket ones. I'm using Accel GM type coils on my FD with the 20B.... If you use the GM type coils then you will need to run the second plug wire off each coil to ground and you will need 4 of them... if you have any more questions just ask them and I'll try to get back here in the near future to answer them for you... There will be a newer version of the microtec comming out in a month or two that will be a little better, so you may want to hold out for it if your not in a hurry..

As far as standaloes go do you guys think that the microtech is a good unit? Or should I hold out a bit more and get a haltech.
i have heard alot more on haltech's and seem to be the better choice as far as support and knoledge on this board at least. I looked in the ECU Maps section and not 1 microtech map so I guess not to many people use it.
Over all do you guys think the haltech is a better choice over the microtech?
And dragon my car in an N/A S4 I dont think FD parts are in order here LOL. Mabey on my turbo motor but not on the N/A

Do these ECU's come with the map sensor?
BTW, yes..I do think Micortech's are a very nice system for the money...a little harder to get tuned at first(or so it seemed)..but still def worth the money..

I will hold out for the haltech then. With the haltech I would not have to ship out the ECU to change the base map right? like im N/A now but when i do my TII swap i just change the map or what?
