Title: How hard to install a PFC ????
Post by: shaunwil on October 02, 2004, 09:07:06 PM
I\'m thinking of getting a Apexi PFC for my gen3 and was wondering how hard it is to fit. What would a normal amount of time would it be to properly install one and setup.

Is it a job i can do myself or am i better off giving it to pip to sort it out. I can import one from japan for £530ish (104,210yen).

The car is basically standard, bar a rebuild by pip and filter and exhaust (cat back i think).

Cheers

Shaun

Literally 5 minutes to plug in and setup; obviuosly tuning is a different matter - may aas well take it to Pip and get it all done together...

I\'ll give him a ring on monday and find out. He only gave me a cost for everything, not just the fitting and setup !

Cheers.

I think i may need to do it anyway to cover my warrenty. Plus i want pip to set my boost back to standard as well and check everything is ok :) from the rebuild (he only looked at it after 700 miles). Its done about 2000 now and is running lovely, but only at 7psi.

PFC = Power FC, as in Apexi Power FC ECU. PNP programmable ecu. Allow you to mpa your cars fuel, ignition and a load of other stuff with Datalogit software and box...
