New mods jitters!!!

Howdy, ok i have a concern about the compatability of some upcoming mods. My current mod list is as follows, also know that i did not do any of these, they were done when i bought the car
-PFS v-mount intercooler
-3" down pipe, into 3" all the way into a flowmaster muffler
-efini y-pipe
-cold air intake

now the question that i have is that with all of these mods is an apexi pfc going to cause compatibilty issues, i am concerned, because having not been involved in the previous mods, i am thinking that to make the car run correctly they would have had to mess with some of the turbos settings, and also some of the fuel settings, also the other question that i have is on one more mod that has been done that me and a shop are unable to explain. all of the colored solenoids on the top of the engine, have been unplugged, and a jumper wire has been installed in all of them and then wrapped in electrical tape, does anyone know what that means, or more importantly what this does. TIA

those mods are very tame and the PFC can handle them easily
you might want to add a boost controller or port your wastegate(or both) with that straight exhaust

as for the solenoids, a picture would help

the solenoids are unplugged due to old school computer chip(probably pettit or pfs)if you use the pfc no need to worry about the plugs, but i would remove the diode's and electric tape. I was building a fairly fast stock twin car, when only at the track, when launching the car at the line. the diode's would touch the intake and short the computer. this caused a dead miss losing all momentum.

LOL. You can almost feel the anxiety in your post. You should be ok with that PFC, be sure to get a good tune. Kan is the best IMHO. I've seen him make sooo many cars run perfect with PFC

Your seq solenoids have been jumpered to allow you to run non-seq with a stock ecu.

PFS doesnt make a v-mount that I know of.

what shop is working on the car?

re: tuning, I'd recommend Chris over at rx7.com in garland, BDC in the fort worth area or mr kan. Shop around as their pricing varies, I know Chris can tune the car on a dyno.

Ya, i was planning on buying the pfc from rx7.com, so far they have been very helpful, maybe i mispoke with the v-mount, iam not sure, but the intercooler is a PFS, i know that for sure, so you are saying that the turbos are running in non seq because of the jump. that is what i thought, but i wasnt sure. thanks

another one for rx7.com, wish I was closer, I could use their help right now myself, Chris and Ari are great guys and have helped me before.
and those mods were done to the car before you bought it, without a PFC?
