The FC only comes with a single turbo, but when you upgrade to a larger turbo you're going to want something to add extra fuel. The FC ECU is slightly more forgiving than an FD ECU, so you could just get away with S-AFC at the bare minimum. Question is why? Just get a Mircotech or Haltech and be done with it.

well, i have a super afc and bigger injectors and fuel pump, and i just dont have the money to get a standalone, when my motor blew i realized that i would have just enuf money to upgrade, and now i have everything i need and i really dont want to spend ne more money.

p.s. will my air filter and maf sensor fit rite onto the bigger turbo or do i need to make it fit with an adapter peice or something?
thanx again.

you might be able to get away with a highflow standard turbo but there is still more gains in standalone
