It should they are pretty much universal, you just better be finding a PCM wiring diagram before buy it. I installed SAFC 3 on my friends 2.2 eco cavy. He's currently selling it for $200.00 if your interested.

There are a couple of difference sencer options with these units, on is Karmann and another is Pressure, and I beleave there was a third and if you use the wronge one then there would probably be a false reading. I beleave we had to use the Pressure type. If i was you I'd get a HP Tuner.

Just tune with HPT and a laptop; buy an interceptor to watch essential things. That's what I do. I run the interceptor in my car all the time usually watching knock and IAT2.

If your just wanting to monitor your engine get a pillar pod, I think there making clustar pods as well. The Apexi is more of a piggy back tuning device than it is a monitoring device.

The Interceptor is a great product it's like 12 gauges in one. I will be getting one after I finish building my motor Damn stock boost gauge only goes to 20 LBS I don't know how much boost I'm running.

I guess whatever the newest one is. I am a big advocate for Aeroforce. I met Todd at an Intense Drag Day Event. Nicest guy, down to earth, gave me his cell and email. He always responds promptly and he is just a nice guy.

I have a red and black one with chrome bezel. I kept the stock boost gauge.

If I had an SS/SC, I wouldn't waste my time with an piggy back unit like an SAFC if I have something like HP Tuners available...

Sorry I should have clarified. I forgot there was a Todd at Intense. I talked to Todd the owner/operator of Aeroforce, the company that makes the Interceptors. He has always treated me right. But then again, so has Intense.
