Mine's on my TII however...for NA purposes, unless one is released strictly for the NA cars, I seriously would consider other routes.

I think one thing many people here are missing is that on an N/A when your at WOT you will be in the 0hg" map no matter what RPM you at, where as on a turbo you might be at a Verrry different PSI map. What this means is that you can tune out most small problems of trasition with using the RPMwot and RPMcrs functions..
Just takes a bit more time.
Obviously more load points will be better, but all im trying to say is it can be done with a regular microteh stock map sensor, this is a much more cost effective route if your going to turbo it later on, ie, you wont have to send it back for a different sensor/chip.

I had mine running near perfect..
If you spend enough time mucking around with the throttle pump settings and the RPMwot/RPMcrs functions you can end up with a great driving car with reasonable fuel economy.

BTW, the Wolf3D does not need to be sent back to the factory to work on an NA because the user can re-scale the load bands in a matter of seconds. The Haltech computers accept external MAP sensors, so they don't need to be sent back to Australia for upgrade, either. Both the Wolf and Haltech computers can be programmed by the user to work on other engines like V-8's, 12-cylinders, etc., which makes them more useful for those who have more than one sportscar, and also makes them easier to sell on the used EMS market. This is something that the engineers at Microtech may want to think about.

It certainly is a bit of a shot comming in their dept. but I seem to recall that they're working on making the next version of ECU's with user definable load points.
Which would certainly be a welcome relief for many people.. Not just N/A people but turbo people aswell, that need more resolution in a certain area.
Thats just what I recall, any microtech experts know anymore?
