i know someone who is willing to buy my pfc off of me so i can buy a haltek, so there would be NO cost to me. i was thinking of getting the harness for my fd and doin plug and play.



should i do it?



what else do i have to get?



does it need a map straight off the bat to run my car (this is my daily driver, so it has to run at least all the time)



where can i get the cheapest e6k?



thanks...

because it seems in reality it is cheaper to tune than the pfc. i know a few people around here who are familliar with the rotary and haltek tuning, so if i needed to get my car tuned (i will) it would be cheaper. also to tune on the laptop id need a datalogit for the pfc which is another 300 some $ just to make it a tab simplier for me to do things on the pfc...



there is only one place around here that tunes the pfc, and there is no way i will go back to having them touch my car. thats why i ask if it is worth it.

yes but you also have to install the haltech, and the pfc is already in there, and it doesn everything that the haltech will do and more
