I was showing rich on my air/fuel gauge with an intake, cat-back and downpipe but managed to crack an apex seal anyways - its not worth the engine, get a computer.

Why risk it? If you can pick up 25hp and keep your car safe at the sme time....what a deal!

Just remember to look at EVERY ECU before you make a choice.....
I chose the M2, and although I'm very happy with it and their service, I have already maxed out it's usefulness and I've had it for 2 months.......sheesh

I would say look into the Power FC or Pettit Unlimited if you're going to do some serious modding.....

the apexi avc-r is a avenue you can pursue too, it'll at least make sure you get more fuel in there. only problem is that it seems to outlive its usefulness after a few mods
