& commander.... but nothing seems available this minute. Just wondered what my alternatives are that won't bump fitting & mapping through the roof? androo007 wrote:Hi all,

If it can handle WI mapping even better.
Thanks
... post this in wanted , check ebay ... gts chris did have some ...good luck with your endeavors... I'll say my Link G4 is a much better alternative to PFC. Once you find someone who can map them properly. This was my biggest hurdle, now I'm over it and the car is mapped with WI and behaves like OEM day to day. ... lol..good lord why always cheap out on the most important part? ...megssquirt or ECUMaster are way cheaper than other ECUs and are way more evolved than the stoneage pfc+...Link all the way, PFC is a total waste of money these days, the only reason people buy them is cos the car forums won't admit how old hat they are and constantly inflate their prices- I'd agree it was a good option if priced accordingly (say £200'ish)...you could build a better ECU yourself these days for very little cash 
I have the none "+" and it does everything plus lots of options i don't need.

In your budget.
are old hat, super basic, very feature limited (feature-less really) etc.. but - and it's the big but that keeps people buying them, they're plug and play, everyone maps them, they work and they've done a job on plenty of half decent power builds for a long time that's what makes them keep their price. Plenty of people don't have the time/money/inclination/technical ability/need/whatever to go with something 'better' and just want to follow a tried and tested route to enjoy their road car without having to have the newest/best/most expensive kit available. .. . or if you do have the ability (as ashley alluded to) you can buy a kit and build it yourself even cheaper'00 Honda CBR600 Follow me on Instagram @c35rob PFCs are old hat, but that's no reason to rule them out. That's the reason they hold their price. Sure there's better ecus out there, but depends what you want. Apexi power FC. Mapped by Ryan at 2 bar tuning at 1.2 bar. Putting out 306bhp and pulls like a train. androo007 wrote:Who did you buy the ecu from chap? Was it pnp?
hence the "+" £80 IIRC. This way i can boost past 1.5bar of boost However i asked Fensport to make up a loom for me as i added a 4 bar map sensor and the WI was wired in too May still look at Link though..I just don't understand why you wouldn't do everything you can to try and avoid stressing your engine, and in my mind- that means using a decent computer to control it. Sure PFC has been around for ever, but is it really "proven", or could it's technology and lack of precision be one of the contributing factors to 3S blocks cracking?..but in my opinion it is ridiculously over priced, mainly because so many people keep insisting they are the be all and end all...confirmation bias at work perhaps?!£k's building a decent engine, only to fall for the false economy of using one to save maybe £400 over something like a Link...especially if you factor in that the PFC is probably double the price it should be anyway!..hell you even see second hand M400's for ~£1k...bargain compared to forking out £600 for a PFC NOT a power FC...I remember two or three separate mapping/ tuning experts at the time (including Ryan) telling me to bin it and get a decent ECU + 540s'can' find the ecu your looking for. This allows for more power with the same modifications amongst other benefits.
