Cool
The Microtech is sequential though too... and about a grand less
. And with the little tricks I'm pulling right now will likely not even have a CEL light, and no problems on any other front either... BUT definitely NOT plug and play, and carries a different feature set. The AEM is a great product and will be the perfect fit for the needs of some individuals, just like the Microtech fits the needs of other's. You just need to be aware of what your actual needs are!Congrats guys!

EDIT: Although when I say not plug and play, keep in mind Keola put it best when he said "if you can install a stereo in your car you can easily do this"

Indirectly yes. We have to do some final tests on that, but not too concerned over it. I'm building a number of custom circuits that get added on to the Microtech that get around those things. The Microtech itself doesn't deal with the tach too well, but it has an output that is reasonable for doing it. I have recorded the proper signal behaviors of a lot of our sensor with a digital oscilliscope. Then I engineer out the impedances necessary and design circuits around all that to get it to work. So did the Microtech work with the tach by itself... no, but it will work with what I'm doing to it with a custom circuit.
We are having a few delays due to schedules of the first installers. Not everyone has had time to get everything needed done. If I had a car that I was doing the work on directly it'd be a LOT faster as I can do whatever I need then, but right now I get word of problems, I work them out, we test fixes, and move on. So it's a back and forth process. A couple more weeks and we'll be set.

Beau is also trying out his new camer/video phone and sent me these 
.
They are running through the IAC setup so that the car will purr like a kitten at idle when it's done. Those who have experience with the Haltechs (deckedoutmp5 and Pretzellogic to name a few) can appreciate this feature the most.

Nice..
We are ditching the IAC, and my car never had it. There are definitely a few pluses to having it, but we got very nice smooth idles without any trouble without it. Even on 550CC injectors. My car at races was great for idling smooth and kicking up right away. But very cool to keep that incorporated!

For a grand less? What model Microtech? Will the microtech be able to use the stock water temp sensor, Air intake temp sensor,Idle air control valve,Vehical speed boost controlled,control timing,auto map,etc? Will it come with a 3.5bar Map sensor?

That is based off the assumption or previous statements that you guys posted of being around 2100-2200 I believe.
It will use all the stock sensors. It will not activate/use the IAC. It will do timing, full fuel, boost, pump features, full startup suite, can handle to 25 psi as is, but can be fitted to handle up to 45 psi for 200 bucks more... it can do stepper motor control as well for the EGR, I may be able to work out the IAC, but not worried about it right now... It will not automap at all, but will start with a base map that is good enough to tune off of. But yes the Microtech will come out around 1200-1300.
It won't have some of the features that the AEM has, and it won't be plug and play. The AEM definitely can do more auxillaries, has the automapping, etc. So the AEM is a good option for people that have those needs.
The traction control is a neat idea.. I don't know enough on how it works or how well it works or if it has drawbacks... but reducing power to prevent wheelspin seems like it could be counterproductive at times. But it could be a really awesome feature too!
It's a great unit and you guys have done some amazing work on it!!! Congrats.
