I dont see any cons to it...But maybe thats just me.


I would think anything that would allow you to control fuel would be a plus.

Well, the downside is it is a piggyback to your 10+ year old ECU, and it's only going to help if you have larger injectors that need to be controlled. Also, it doesn't prevent fuel cut for those without a FCD, so you'll still need a FCD to prevent bouncing off the 8.6PSI limit. That's as much as I can think of

Damn pessimist








Those are good points that I forogt though. I just assume that when people get an AFC, theyre a little bit past stock. But I guess thats what I get for assuming

Well, considering I've had nothing but bad luck with the car, I always focus on those negative things to make sure I don't go upgrading and forgetting something But yeah, they definatly outweigh the cons, especially if you have the rest to go with it!
