AP engineering is the only company that makes the Power FC. Border sells the Computer, commander and harness. However when you tell them that you want one he picks up the phone and has it delivered to his shop, probably from AP engineering who is down the road in Sagamihara.
If you are serious about getting one I can see if I can have one shipped to you. They only make them for the S5 though. Intallation is pretty straight forward, but you will have to change the Air temp sensor and use a FD pressure sensor or the Apexi version. I am not sure of the cost of all this. Mine was installed at Border and without any tuning it cost about 2500 us dollars. I will be going to Border this week so let me know whats up and I will ask.

Hey Ranzo how is the new shop?, I have talked to R a few times, but I forgot to ask him hehe.
The shop is really nice. It looks amazing when driving down the road, He even has a car displayed on the inside. The shop area is much larger and cleaner as well.
Hey. I know the fd pressure sensor can only read upto about 17 lbs. What does the apexi pressure sensor read upto? I know to set more boost a boost controller can be used or the pfc boost kit and thats a 3 bar.
Thanks
Thanks
The Apexi sensor reads 3 bar......however to benefit from that you will need datalogit or Apex software to adjust the scale on the Power FC.

Vosko is correct. You need a $300 to buy you a datalogit, you can steal a laptop from a friend and you are set. I once looked at a supposed bridge port map for an FC with a powerfc with my datalogit and that **** was stock except that the whole correction map was jacked as high as it could go in boost. It was crazy. The guy said it was close to being tuned so I zeroed out his correction map for him to give room to tweak. The guy had paid $300 for nothing basically. Actually he paid $300 for someone to try to blow his motor.

Since I started this topic and it arose from the dead, i thought I might give an update. I acquired a Power FC for my FC from Jap Parts Specialist. I highly recommend him to anyone. If you are looking into getting a Power FC for your FC then you should try to get one through him since he comes across these often. His site is http://jappartsspecialist.com/
