a couple of my buddies have these on there nissans and what not, and love them, i was wondering if anyone has used or knows if it can be used on our 1.8t motors?

anyone have one or used one?, do they work as well on the audi's as they do on a nissan and others alike?

 

WTF are you talking about? do you have a link to whatever it is you are talking about?

 

the apexi SAFC

its an air/fuel controler, it can change fuel cureves and all kinds of stuff.

it sounds like a great alternative to chipping, you can adjust all your fuel maps and make your rpm range(redline) and set idle and all kinds of things

 

It may sound like a nice alternative, but for close to 400 bucks, why not go for a chip/flash? I don't know much about the SAFC, so I really can't help ya man.

 

well b/c its adjustable over and over....so i could have many different tunes without buying different chip "programs" from the chip companies...

 

what everyone is saying is don't waste your money

 

our ecu is not like japanese cars' ecu. You cannot really have full control unless you have standalone. So it's better chip it.

 

You could proly run an SAFC (a must have on my eclipses) but you will find it cheaper to buy a proven tune then to buy all that is need to properly tune your car.

SAFC-400$
Boost gauge- 50$
EGT gauge- 150$
Wide band 02- 250$
MBC (turboxs)- 100$
Injectors- 300$

Total- 1200$

K03 GIAC Tune- 500$
BT tune- 800$ with injectors

 

He won't have full control with a SAFC as it still is a piggy back type control (tricking the ecu into thinking what you want it to) Standalone is standalone.

 

you noth realize this is the kide running 14 psi of boost with stock tunning and an mbc, right?
