PowerFC = no FCD required.

You may like to get a boost control solenoid however so that you can modify your boost level from the PFC

you don't require a FCD with Power FC, as the max boost / sensor output will be limited by the measuring range of the MAP sensor used.


Typically the OEM rev1 / rev2 MAP sensor will allow up to 1 bar boost.
The OEM rev3 MAP sensor will allow up to 1.6 bar boost.

or,

you can configure the Power FC to run with an aftermarket GM type MAP sensor that will allow maximum 2 bar boost etc

I wouldnt bother, ive heard nothing but bad things about the PowerFCs boost control.

I'm running a Mac solenoid on my PFC. Worked great at 300bhp. Changing to 400bhp soon will keep you posted.
