should i get a power fc?

hey i was planning on getting my stock twins non-sequentialed. but i was also planning on getting a hiflo cat with it. I already have a dp and a cat back exhaust. I was just wondering if i would need to worry about boost spikes?

I love my PowerFC I dont have any spiking issues... running 12psi on the stock twins sequential still though. System was a bit tedius to play with at first but once I had acces to FC datalogit, it all changed.

The one thing about getting the PFC that no one tells you is that "sometimes" you get the dread AC problem. This is where on certain fan settings (classically position3) the AC cuts out.....

I was all stoked when I got mine and a week later I was like WTF, why isn't my AC working!?!?

If you get a PFC, be sure you budget at least another $400 for a tune.

the a/c problem is most common on early production 93's. My friend's 94 never had any issues.

Not having A/C on setting3, and needing to get it tuned so the car runs properly < Making sure your car doesn't go *boom*...

not a hard equation ...
