Umm, why not go for a new Apexi AFC instead? THe F-Con is a lazy mans afc with many restrictions. Then get a boost gauge off ebay. A/R ratio gauges are a joke, save up for a Greddy EGT gauge setup etc.
I'd vote for new afc,some 720 secondary's, and a boost gauge...

Fcon came with my car, it's nice but it's very restrictive. I can only use stock sized injectors so I have to have 2 additional injectors and a seperate controller for them. The F-Con is old and outdated, the new AFC's are sweet and much more usefull.
EGT's are exspensive, you need something that measures up to 1000celcius(No autometers plz). I'm guessing 300+ but can save you from poping your engine

the fcon will work fine with bigger injectors... but you WILL need to get a GCC to adjust them.
I know it ends up alot like the afc.. but the 3d mapping of the Fcon is why i like it. adjust fuel by boost and rpm... not just rpms like the afc.
correct me if im wrong but thats what iv read and what im usin.
