How hard to install a PFC ????

[shaunwil]

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

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.

id save the cost and drop her in yourself..
with your current setup.. theres no tuning involved..

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...
