Looking to get a AFC.. These are the 2 that seem the get the most talking on the net !
Or HkS ECU , Biltz ECU and other Let me know what you 6th gen member think about these AFC ? HKS ECU, and other's ? or if you have some in-put on other ones? Some performance shop's are saying that a stand-alone is a better pick in the longer run! |

PowerFC has the common EMS problem - it has no native knock control. J&S safeguard or similar have to be used. the good thing about PFC is that everybody has some base maps lying around to share that support various levels of mods. then again u need datalogit to fine tune it, as the hand commander has very basic maps control. so PFC + datalogit + J&S = overpriced option.
here in east europe VEMS is a popular choice for any type of sports cars, for 1200~1300$ it is fully packed with all addon options and switchable maps, it has knock control + extremely easy adjustable launch control for dragrace folks. the problem with it? it is custom built&programmed for each car, almost like megasquirt. its not just buy a standalone and plug & play, you have to order it, explain every detail of the car to the tuner and wait. but its included in the price  still id like to hear some experiences & opinions on NEO
