^I'm with them. I asked Mike a couple of questions about the 2.0, and he answered...

1. Remove AFM? Mike:"No not yet. We would like to implement that in the future."

2. Price? Mike:"Under $500"

3. Upgrade cost? Mike:"Yes, almost the full cost of whatever version you have will be deducted from the cost of the 2.0."

Looks like were going to need another section in the Engine Management Forum. hehe :-)

Either way your going to spend the money. Get the 1.7 now, then when the 2.0 comes out, get it for a cheaper price. Either way, its a great product.

P.S. If anyone out there has doubts about Mike, and his customer service, get over them. Mine was sent out on Friday, and returned back on Wednesday of the next week. I payed a little more on shipping but there wasn't a 5 day wait to modify the ecu. Again, great product for ~$125.

I had a 1.5 in my car and it was awesome! Absolutely loved it and I think these guys are making a great product. However, what is the current "guess-timate" for pricing of the 2.0? Last I heard it was pretty steep and with prices of full standalone systems dropping I think these guys need to get in gear if they plan to stay in the rotary market. They've been around for how long and there's still only S4 TII support? The MS has been around for just as long and has gone from just a few pioneers running it to a full blown plug and play solution. Just my .02.

is this going to be compatible with the zeitronix zt2 wideband? i read on your site you will be able to datalog and such with the wideband in conjunction with other rtek products. i was in the group buy for the wideband earlier this year and still havent installed it. im mainly waiting for the 2.0 to come out. i have the 1.7 right now, and its just absolutely fantastic! i have a couple questions though.

1. i have the stock 550's in the primaries and 780's in the secondaries. however, i would LIKE to throw in the 680's i have lying around in the primaries. so, i figure if i detune the 680's while its in the 720/720 mode, it should be okay??? or, should i just throw it in the 550cc mode and tune it that way? also, i know the zeitronix wideband has the simulated narrowband output connector. will this be okay for the 2.0 ecu to read? or (as stated above) will the true wideband output be read with the ecu?

2. also, im sure youve been asked this a million times, but IF they release it without MAP capabilities, is there an software upgrade in the future we could simply download and i ***-U-ME that it would be a gm x-bar map sensor???

Thanks for letting me pester you! im just psyched about this product, and plan on trading in my 1.7 for this bugger when its ready!

Ry.
