ok, I'll be running a 2.5 bar.

I was trying to figure out if I should get a single or dual interceptor, but I think I'll still get a single and go with a manual boost gauge also.

Yeah my setup is ZZP 3 gauge pillar with boost, interceptor and wideband then steering wheel bezel with EGT. Since our cars don't have a factory wideband like the LNF I think dual interceptors is pointless

How are you all getting an interceptor to read boost with an ecm that doesnt read boost?

The pcm can "read" boost but the ve map only goes up to 100 kpa therefore cannot provide fueling for boost.

interesting. i had a 2.5 tmap from lsj on mine when it was supercharged, no interceptor reading for boost. Required mechanical boost gauge.
