not that i know of, they cant void it unless it cause something to happen, like a CAI wont void it unless it cause something to brake or go wrong becasue of the CAI.

if you decide to go turbo..and i dont believe it does...then an interceptor will be just a waste a space..youll need something that can show oil pressure...seeing as how thats a critical on a turbo car

well he is already an s/c... so he may do that but i doubt it for awhile... plus all you need is another sensor from aeroforce.... and then you can read it...

If your not going FI, get the following, Water Temp, Oil pressure/Temp, Volts. THose are pretty much standard on any car anywayz cept the cobalt...

I have in the a-pillar, Water temp, oil pressure, volts. Then in my steeringwheel pod i have my boost and wideband.

And dont go with a intercepter...they read like 3 things on a 2.2 out of teh 100's of things. waste.

dude its not a waste you just have to know how to set it up... thats all... you can choose what all you want to monitor...

its a waste if you take it out of the box and plug it in and expect it to read evertying but otherwise its definatly not a waste

1. Dont trust the radars that are like that..if you do it.. do it right and get a escort 8500 x50
2. Like i said.. it wouldnt be a waste.. the interceptor can read everything with your car and it fits in a gauge pod... all you would need are the sensors that aeroforce sells.. for the oil pressure and temp

Daskhawk doesntlook as nice
