Honestly I'm not sure what they use now either. I've heard they separated the ECU's from the Stealth units on the later models. Not really what I wanted to hear but I guess makes it easier to service.

Yes those transducers are extremely fast acting. Took a bit getting used to vs an analog gauge. I actually compared the two, with good analog oil and fuel pressure gauges to the transducers at the same time on a running engine. Mainly to make sure they were accurate, but I found while the analog gauges were rock steady, the transducer readings do fluctuate around a few numbers back and forth extremely fast. Just normal I guess.
Did throw me for a loop on the fuel pressure though, related to this thread. I thought maybe the fuel pressure was fluctuating too much on the transducer so that's when I invested in a Radium dampener. I would have never noticed until the transducer was installed because the analog gauge was rock steady and I actually was driving the car for about a year before the switch to transducers and it ran perfectly fine. The dampener did calm down the transducer readings a good 90% but it still moves around back and forth a few PSI. Not a big deal. The big reason was so that I could datalog the fuel pressure during a pass and in a datalog I can look at any point of the run, so what I see fluctuating on the screen in real time doesn't really matter so much.

It's all pretty cool stuff when it works like it should.
