Apexi Power FC on a 95 JDM RX-7

Im located in Italy right now so it’s hard to get my hands on a tuner. There is a shop in Germany which is about 11 hours away where I eventually will end up going.

my question is will it be safe to drive on the stock map with the following mods:
Greddy vmount
Greddy intakes
DP
Bonez High flow cat
Amuse R1 exhaust

I will have Profec boost controller to keep the boost to 10 psi, gauges plus wideband.
what kind of numbers should I be looking for in the A/F ratio?

Just don’t beat on the car until you get it tuned. You can drive around not boosting the car all you want

That depends on your level of confidence in tuning, however even the Apexi base map will be better than the stock ECU.

Once you get on that German autobahn you will be very tempted to go fast on those no limit zones. Just watch your boost gauge, controller won't do much for boost creep from the hi-flow.

we have good apexi powerfc tuners in northern Greece. with less than the money you will spend on gas to get to Germany you can have one fly over there from Thessaloniki. the planbe tickets are like 70 euros (two way ticket) so a lot less than gas to Germany

i also tune power fcs ( i have 3 rx7s . one fd and 2 fcs) but i dont recomend me as that would be direct advertisement. but i can hook you to other tuners .
