forget about it,you obviously mistook it for a different ecu seeing as you were recommending apexi...microtech...when the power fc is actually apexi....

there is no harm to discuss and disagrea guys ;)

what people usualy don't like about PFC is the fact that it won't retard timing if knocks occurs (what your standard ECU would do). so you really need to trust your tuner on this one, and be sure you never use lower octane than the one your setup has been maped for.

Other than that it is a lovely unit, that doesn't have all the ring&bells that top of the range standalones have (launch control, antilag, multimap, water injection suport...) but is still a really nice alternative for highly tuned road car (IMO once again)

I have used/tuned/owned/loved both emanage ultimate and Power FC

ive not heard great things about them from a few people.............

just saying what ive heard.... but good luck with it..............

LOL ! Heard more good than bad! Obviously there are more advanced ECU's out there now, but for the money, what other standlone is there in the same bracket?

Does all the Jap tuners good enough! :D

i payed the going rate, thats all im going to say on the price.

i want to sort my air filter out, fit a smaller rad and fit a custom fmic and then i shall fit it and get it mapped. after that the jam should be for sale. until then ill keep with the jam so the pfc will be sitting in its box for a bit, will test it first though to make sure it all works ok.

dont have the boost control kit with it. will just stick with my profec b spec 2 as that seems to do the job ok.

will be interesting to see what figures i get with the jam and then a properly mapped pfc on exactly the same setup. may do it for future reference

Sounds good. Post up the results for both when you have them. You're lucky to actually have good tuners. If we had over here, I would have considered a remappable ecu as well.

well with my past experience of other people doing things on my car i give the engine about a month before it goes bang!

ill use a reputable tuner and just hope they really do know what they are doing.

will be interesting in comparison to see how the power and torque is delivereed as well as the maximum acheived with both ecus. how it drives on the road will also come into consideration and fuel economy too.
one good thing is i can get the pfc mapped for 95 ron fuel which will save me a packet

If you want the most from it, get it mapped at 99 RON ;)

Glad to see your considering other factors when comparing the differences. I hate how people only like to compare power figures, when a standalone is about so much more than that!
