Does PFC also help with grounding?
I'm thinking of getting a PFC, and I was wondering whether it reads: Boost, actual water or exhaust temprature and Air/Fuel ratio?
I know it solves the 3000 rpm thingy, but does the car still need extra ground wires with this thing attached? Thanks

No EGT guage, but any other factory sensor or solenoid is viewable by the commander.
The 3k thing is gone and so are the grounding straps. The straps were kind of a never ending search for the problem in the stock ECU which many believe was really a ECU fuel injector problem. The only place a grounding strap really does anything is on the upper intake manifold. The injectors need the proper voltage to work correctly. The ground is not zero volts because of poor grounding, then they don't get the full voltage. This will cause hesitation and surges for breif periods of time.

I read that you can buy a boost controller seperately for the PFC. Is this for our cars or just the Hondas who decide to throw in an aftermarket turbo kit? Its this little black box with a couple hose nipples on it. Also, will I be able to lower boost to stock levels (don't wanna spike). Thanks again for the quick replys.

You can buy a seperate boost controller but it is really for single turbos. It also includes a better/higher boost MAP sensor. You will not need it with the twins. You will not really spike with this computer. You could run lower levels, but if your motivation is the spiking, then don't worry about it. The transition is more like a blip now than a spike.
