I watched torque and my scan tool both cycle 4 or 5 protocols. My scan tool has a system test of some sort that makes a buch of relays click. But, I understand those tools are hit or miss. I'm more concerned that torque won't communicate, since it's generally accepted that it should. Fuse for OBD is good, voltage present, ect. I have I think 2 threads on that issue alone.

Maybe I could buy an interceptor from a vendor with good tech support and return policy..lol.

I've read a few instances on the glowshift fuel pressure sending units not lasting long. Mine just quit a week or so ago and had less than 5000 miles on it. I bought an autometer gauge now. My glowshift trans temp gauge lasted 5 years before it bit the bullet. EGT gauge is still going after 6 years, and reads just about 25 less than my autometer does on the other side of the motor. Boost gauge worked, but I replaced as I didn't believe the boost numbers. Turns out it was right. Just an FYI. All these year measurements I give you are not a lot of miles. I only put on about 2500-3000 miles a year.

Good conversation and info here. I think I'll add this thread to my "collection" of information threads.

What vendor do you guys recommend for the aeroforce? Aeroforce is very proud of their analog input accessories. Maybe just the interceptor, then a stand alone fuel psi and EGT gauge in a 3 gauge pod. Not really sure that'd be too much cheaper, but Aeroforce wants $100 for theamplifier and $65 for the probe. And $65 for the fuel sending unit.
