I have the PFC and love it. I couldnt imagine tuning the Haltech, the PFC is in depth. Your car is in good shape, keep it nice man.

I can't wait till one of my headlights burn out. This way I can jsut take both of them out

When doing the hose job, be careful when removing the old hoses from the solenoids. The old ones tend to be VERY brittle and so is the plastic on the solenoids. If you yank the hose the wrong way, you are liable to break a nipple. I've had hoses SO crusted up, that I actually had to use a dremel to remove it from the solenoid. Also, don't pull on the hose. Gently twist them side by side before pulling on them

You really SHOULDN'T be running a midpipe and a DP without an aftermarket ECU. If you keep overboosting the way you are, you COULD blow the engine. Octane booster doesn't do much when fuel is completly cut to the engine Actually, fuel is only cut to the rear rotor, which is why you usually see blown motors with only a blown rear rotor...

I have the PFC. The best thing about it is the fact that it was a straight forward plug-n-play procedure.

TainoIndian,

The hose job really isnt that hard. I've done 2 of them so if you have any questions let me know. What I found that works the best for getting the hoses off of the soleniods is to use a SHARP Xacto knife and cut a slit in hose (make sure to cut the slit to the end of the hose too) and then take a small flat head screwdriver a push it into the slit in the hose and give it a little twist. This should break the bond between the hose and the soleniod and then the hose should pull off fairly easily. In both jobs I have done we didn't break any soleniods so thats what I would do to get them off.
