apexi makes the power fc (stand alone EMS), and other controllers like the safc, avc-r, ect. all of which arent ecu's. post a list of the options you are trying to choose from. apexi doesnt make stock replacement ecu's.

Wow..."Joe Bow Hunter" came across like quite the dick. Can't believe you guys were nice/mature enough to answer the question politely that he was incapable of formulating correctly in the first place.

And they say the 2nd Gen Forum are full of A-holes!

well its so hard to understand what the hell you are saying. your question that was "soo simple" didnt even make sense. i still dont think i understand your last post. to remove the maf your gonna need a stand alone ems. there are many to choose from.

-First off....why do you need an apexi ecu?...and the two links you sent only one was an apexi the other was AEM which is pretty much a different ems all together.
-Second...what are you going to use it for, and before you say my car duh......I mean...do you know a T2 or na? what are you mods? turbo? I mean you leave us no information whatsoever.
-Third....hell when I was 15 my english was 10times better then yours..maybe you should worry more about school then your car...or manage both.

You are in a bit over your head. Eliminating the AFM is going to require an EXTENSIVE rewire of the car.

......why do you want to remove the current AFM?

Making too much power? It is restricting your airflow?

Standalones cost a lot. It would be money better spent on a free flowing exhaust. After that upgrade your turbo, and get a nice wastegate. Then go for some bigger injectors and then start considering upgrading to a standalone.

I am pretty sure the stock AFM is good up to about 350 or more HP.

Spend the money somewhere else.

Yes... age strangely does show through the forums. Immature responses, and demands for everyone else to do the work for you.

Eh. Good luck. Please don't destroy the T2. not enough of them around.

Yes, and it requires a standalone ecu... which means you need some knowledge and a new wiring harness.

You are in a bit over your head
heh, understatement?

Question...not to be rude or a 2nd gen ******* but why are you on here instead of him? I think this matter would be resolved much quicker and easier if he explained his situation first hand instead of having his immature nephew pass on the work to everyone else. Oh yeah and like everyone else said, there would be more bang for the buck doing something else.

This is getting ridiculous, and retarded.

Bottom line, you need a stand alone engine management system. This will allow you, or your uncle, complete control over fuel injection and ignition timing, along with boost and a bunch of other goodies. This will cost thousands. A few places to look into are:

MegaSquirt
Haltech
Motec
Wolf3D
Microtech
Rtek

Google them all, or look at the Engine Management section on THIS forum.

Should you feel the need to post such easy questions again, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if your spelling and grammar wasn't equivalent to that of a five year old. It makes things much easier to read if you type like an adult.

James

PS: If your uncle is bridge porting a motor and doesn't know anything about aftermarket ECU's, I can only imagine what that port will look like...
