Apexi VAFCII

so.. just did like.. an hour of searching. this is what i've come up with.....



completely pointless cuz our stock ecu over rides it... it'll be good after the dyno and tune for about a week or so and then back to stock.. then reset stock ecu..

then would be best once i get all NA bolt-ons i want and tune...

help me out if thats true(stock ecu overriding VAFC). found a great deal for a brand new VAFCII locally for dirt cheap.

would be cool to have it but if its gonna keep having my stock ecu overriding it, then... i'll probably just passssssss

to others who have it. feedback? opinions? facts? pros? cons? blah blah blah etc etc etc...

Yes, I had it professionally tuned. Showed no gains, or difference in the way the car ran.

did a little research and i think this is the thread im looking for..you guys are talking about a vafc controller if im not mistaken. I was looking into getting this and i was wondering the +/- sides of getting this. Is it worth it, from the comments above it seems like its useless. Would i need a wideband if i get this? and what if we did bigger injectors? any body have good answers to this?
