That's a price/performance/preference question.
The big deal with a freestanding ECU - loosing the AFM.

Yeah I'm wondering this too. I've seen quite a few Microtech units going for $650 used. Thats a great price, and my wiring harness is going to ****. This would take care of that problem too. Hmmmm....

Oh midnight7...you have a GXL? I would say that you don't need to waste money on a stand alone or an S-AFC unless you want to lean it out just a bit to gain a little power.

Because the AFM is a big restriction on a fully modded N/a.
