Go with a haltech. I don't feel the pfc has enough tuning resolution for the amount of boost that turbo is capable of.

well the pfc has 16? load points for every rpm point, where the haltech has 22. basically the haltech has the 0-5v of the map sensor broken up into finer chunks

I have yet tu purchase any of the previously mentioned equipment. I was just feeling it out so to speak.



Hopeing to hear peoples experance with these things.



I was curious to see if anyone had a power fc in a t2, i have seen a few cars with it but i was not aware that there was a harness that you can use.



The tuner i have is familiar with APEXi products. That is why i can get them for a great deal. Im a mechanic my self but i would like the aid of a profesional tuner in these things. PS the guy who is getting me the APEXi stuff is my brother in law, and when i say a good deal i mean a GOOD deal.



Is the Haltech tunable from inside the car? Or do you need to plug a computer into it everytime you want to change a peramiter?

You talking all piggy backs and while they are decent they are considered band aids. I agree with everyone here get a good stand alone you will never regret it.



Here is a list of different EMS's



Info for the Wolf as it relates to a Rotary

Microtech:

Haltech: _ Would only go through Matt (Hitman) for this he offers the best support:



http://www.hitman.hm/haltech.htm



Motec if you have the money- My personal pick but its expensive.



http://www.motec.com.au/





You will be better off in the long run biting the bullet now and getting one. I tried to get not get one and wasted a lot of money of stuff one little box will do.



The Microtech has a hand controller option so you can tune on the run while in your car and eliminates the need for a laptop.



Good luck.

It's actually 20x20 for the pfc, and I believe 18x32 for the Haltech.
