DO NOT GET THE AFC

dont waste your money

save your money for the Power FC.

you need to search A LOT

The AFC adds additional resistance to your Air Flow meter signal wire which is totally detrimental to the cars output.

S-AFC is only good for a low budget "datalogger" of sorts just to look at a few engine parameters. Not good for any sort of tuning.

Your car will drive 10000x better with decent tuning versus something crappy like an AFC.

Most people who drive my car with just a careful ROM tune rave about how it drives better than most factory FI cars.

go with an rs enthalpy rom tune...wayyyyy cheaper. just get the car on the dyno w/ a:f after you install it and have the tuner look it over to make sure everything is good. unless you have the 1000 bucks for a power fc or someone near you who can tune it

The 1k standalone is less then sending your computer in every time you do a upgrade.

standalone is best and still the cheapest to tune. on the long run saves you cash VS. ecu rom tunes and AFC

well you also have to factor in dyno time, and if you upgrade standalone you'll still need to get a retune

google rs enthalpy and check out their site, or search them on this site. if you get a reflash MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO DYNO to get some runs downs to make sure a:f are good
