You absolutely do NOT want to use the Probe IC.. The first gen PGT IC's suck.. Dont go there..

Spend the extra 75$ and buy a Viggen Saab FMIC or Starion... Trust us..

I haven't used either. I like the Starion IC for budget setups, I always modify the endtanks though.

As for the Viggen IC reffered to in this post:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=569576

I think he said his family gets discounts, thats why it was so cheap. If anyone can get it that cheap though it's a Hell of a deal.

If you're on a tight budget look into the tyrus IC's, they arent a bad deal, unless you can find a used Starion(conquest) IC.

Good luck,
Masekja
