Does the PFC "integrate" with boost controllers? (Does it recognize and adjust A/F mixtures accordingly?)

the PFC does control boost, but not that well becouse it uses the car's stock boost solinoid. Apexi' does make an add-on boost controller just for the power FC that works well. it uses the same map sensor and boost solinoid from the AVC-R. The kit is around $400. Or you can look around on ebay and such and get a used AVC-R soilinoid, and a 3 bar GM sensor, and you have just duplicated the Apexi kit for $200 less. The oly difference is you have to cut your stock boost solinoid and map sensor plugs and slice in the plugs for the new components

Will the PFC with the AVC-R kit work as well as the stand alone?

well you replace the stock solenoid with the avc-r solenoid, so maybe it's more accurate

No you don't! Simply unplug the stock solenoid and plug in the avc-R solenoid(they're the same connector) and wala!!! Boost controller.

So with the PFC, the AVC-R is just a waste of $$?

yeah, with the right maps it can control a vibrating bed at the Lucky U Motel.
