I am not using an electromotive TEC3(I wish I had one though...) the reason I mentioned it is because I think the black car in the picture is using one. I will probably end up with an electromotive because I have more experience with them.
I will post more pics soon of the kit as it progresses.

You could also plug the Interceptor-X EMS into the factory harness and allow all the factory equipment to function while still giving you complete engine control!

Also from what I understand there are a lot of these ECU replacements around PR from previous projects so they are simply retrofitting.
Any chance we'll see a black friday discount on the Interceptor

To disable the air pump can't it just be disconnected both from the manifold and from the clip that gives it power up top?
Or just disconnected from the manifold and secure it up so it doesn't flop around. If it is required by the ECU to run that is...
One of the guys did this with one of the aftermarket headers. Said it was a little annoying hearing the pump but it doesn't run that long.

^^^I simply removed the air pump and plugged the lines. Running the interceptor, though. The pump is a seriously powerful piece! At first I just disconnected its output. When I turned the car on it just about blew my tools across the room.

Working and sleeping 24 hours working about 8 hours of sleep... 
Wish I could have been there instead.
Full time school + full time work = not much time to do much unless I take a day off of work.
Times like this I really appreciate having a wonderful wife... she keeps everything running smooth (can't imagine what our house would look like if she didn't). She doesn't call me Tornado Ted for nothing... "It looks like a tornado went through here!"
That's what happens when I jump into a project.
