using PFC from another car

will it be safe to use a pfc from one fd in another fd.

The only difference between both fd's, is the fd the pfc was tuned in is auto, and has a bigger intercooler,

the new fd the pfc is going in has a stock intercooler, and a manual, everything else is the same.

It may work ok for you, stock boost levels? you should get a wideband if you don't have one to monitor the afr's and tune the afrs if needed

If that is true, and the auto ran correctly and safe on boost; then the only difference should be the idle setup rpms.

The tuner may have tuned the idle cells in the fuel and timing maps p4-6 and n2-3, you may want to or need to adjust these for a smoother idle, and the idle air adjustment screw. and some of the ign settings may have been changed using the commander or datalogit.
