Made one before, found one, fixed it. Worth trying again. Easy access to the turbo now with no AFM lol. Any other ideas? I remember seeing somewhere how to trick the ecu into thinking it's under load while just revving. Can't remember exactly though. TPS unplugged, and something else...

Not PFC related.

Also, Base map is not for boost. It is to allow you to drive to a tuner or start tuning the car yourself.

Ah ok... guess that's the point I have reached then. Must have missed that in the fine print of our emails lol.

It is the definition of "Base Map". It is not possible to give you a fully tuned map for your specific application, without actually tuning the car. A base map allows you to get the car up and running, which is exactly what it did.

You have a datalogit and a wideband, should be easy enough for you to determine exactly what is going on.

Cool and I appreciate the communication and help after hours. Now knowing this, and not even thinking about it earlier... I'll be going to my tuner in the very near future! They are building my hybrid wrx right now too. They love me lol

Is there a way to upgrade/update the screen on the commander? Mine is a little hard to see. I'd rather not shell out 300 bucks for a new one...

So now that I have the patch harness for the ecu to my harness, it is way too much to tuck back into stock location. Anyone have a better spot or some pics of what you did?

As pictured in the installation instructions, not only does everything fit perfectly in the stock location under the kick panel, it protects the PFC from water in the floor pan.

sorry to bring back an old thread. But how did you get it to fire up and run? You said changed a new battery? Or was it just a new tune base map you uploaded?
