Power FC Install

What's the deal with all of that? I thought the PFC was just a unplug factory Ecu and plug in Power FC... The place I ordered mine from said it'd be in, in a week...2 week mark today. I'm like a 4 year-old waiting on christmas.

Question: Anything complicated about the Power FC install? or should I just disregard the link.

you dont have to cut any wires, i didnt and it ran fine. if you do you can back the pin out of the connector, so you dont cut the harness

You may have had one that was modified. Chuck at rotaryextreme had to cut certain pins out that were not used on the domestic FD's .

I bought mine from Shaneracing.com and it came ready to plug in. I didn't have to cut any wires, they just eliminated the pin from the ecu that goes to the wire that is supposed to be cut.
