For a start you need a wide band lambda meter in order to tune your self - another £450-£1000 depending what you go for...

ok wont be doing that then . lol

The commander is very useful for monitoring your car

Classic example :

Water temp - gauge sits in middle......commander tells you 45 degrees..............

gauge sits in middle, commander tells you water temp is 115 degrees.

Even if you don\'t tune with it, it saves on up to 8 gauges!

yeah that is useful, im think im def gonna go for the apexi, reworx can tune it for £120 and i can sell the fcon. So will work out a lot better i think than spending £600 getting the fcon tuned at least ill have the controller

Was that a deal if buying the ecu and commander from them or some thing? Sounds very cheap.

The advantage of using a PowerFC when you have datalogit is that you can load an already proven map from a similarly spec\'d car as a \'base map\' with which to fairly quickly tune a car on the road. Its not perfect - but thats what many do. Tuning on the dyno isnt perfect either though - and if Abbey arent totally au fait with tuning a 13B then you could be paying them for a bit of R&D. Once dyno tuned you generally have to fettle the car on the road for good drivability too.

You pays your money and takes yours chances as they say.
