PS1000 and Apexi AVC-R - Why?
I just purchased an FD running non sequential twins. I have made a little plunge into the deep end with the car when speaking of its systems and capabilities. As I have been orienting myself with the vehicle, I am noticing some things that, at least now, do not make perfect sense. For instance, the car has an Apexi AVC-R boost controller running on top of the Haltech EMS. Is there a reason other than laziness in installation of the EMS that could explain this decision?

Fair enough. The car seems to function alright now, but after looking over the installation of the electronics, a harness rebuild has made its way to the priority list. I just wanted some confirmation before I decided how to move forward.
On another note, the car also has an Alkycontrol methanol injection system. Would it be an enormous pain to pass control of that over to the Haltech as well?

You could let the ECU do pretty much the same thing the Alkycontrol controller does. You'd need to use a solid state relay driven by the ECU to run the injection pump. My own thought on that is that there isn't much a benefit to taking things over with the ECU so why use up an output? With something like boost control, you can add features such as boost by gear, boost trim pot, etc., when you run the feature through the ECU, so it makes sense. Some just like everything to be run through one box, and I do understand that. It's up to you...
