Vipec pre-order signup!

I don't want to rain on the parade, but I was going to buy the MXT-L and wanted it, but found some negative reviews and followed them even to the innovate forums. Some guys had three new ones all showing errors and this was very recently. Seems maybe that they had a bad batch, or there is a flaw in the design, but there were too many bad reviews and I ended up getting a butt ugly LT1 kit on ebay for $168 or so. It is digital, comes in red or blue, but I really want it for the output for the vipec and the place I have for it is under the center console so no one will see the butt ugliness. I am just too lazy to mess with this and traded the better looking new one for the butt ugly old one with a solid track record.

After I ordered, on the Vipec forum, I found them recommending a different brand, but I was depressed I already bought one so I ignored it, but it was somewhere on the forum. The innovate will certainly work fine.

Just a heads up.

From what I understood reading on the forums and install manual, the vipec needs the output from the gauge itself. There was some contradictory data, but that is what I decided they were saying. Best ask others, but that was my read.

From the vipec manual I read....

Any Analogue Volt channel may be used to accept the signal from a wide-band EGO sensor
controller. Note that VX ECU's cannot accept the signal directly from a wide-band sensor. A
wide-band controller works as an interface between a wide-band O2 sensor and the ECU.
The controller should connect directly to the sensor and output a voltage between 0 and 5V.
