Ohh and before everybody puts you off it. Nothing comes close to it for plug and play, perfect idles and a tune to get to the tuners. But regular version won't run the auto but you could piggy back the stock computer to handle that.
You will need a 3bar map sensor and access to datalogit tuning software to run higher than 1.2 bar boost.

thats good to know mate,he has it in his car atm,wow,i didnt no they were that much,i havent seen it yet but if he sells it to me i'll be wrapped,i've always wanted 1 but been told it wont run the auto but it can be wired in aye,3 bar map sensor is worth how much

Power Fc's are ORSM total plug and play and have OEM stock Map already loaded Although not as complete as say a Haltech or Motec. They are exceptionally versatile. Plus the hand controller is ORSM as Digital Readout of things like Voltage, Water temp, intake temp, Injector duty cycle, and a whole heap of others The only downfall of it Im my opinion it doesn't have any Knock control only a Knock warning which is better than nothing if the tune is spot on. plus Apexi Power FC's Don't know what Octane fuel you put in ya tank. Meaning it won't adjust timing if by accident a lower octane makes its way in. Also the Apexi FC has its on Boost control if ya get the Apexi Solenoid that is the same as the one on the Apexi Electric Boost Control the PFC can control boost as well.
here is a ORSM site basically all ya need to know.

I bought a gm delco 3bar map sensor for $100. Don't bother with an apexi sensor it only reads 2.4 bar. You need access to the laptop tuning software to calibrate the map sensor but the settings are readily available on the net 2 min job.
Let me know if you don't want it and I'll transfer the funds. I call dibs. Lol I'll need it for my next project.
It's easy enough to piggy back the stock ecu with a spare set of ecu plugs, it's only 10 or so wires for the auto.

The knock warning is adjustable and it flashes the engine light once levels exceed threshold, you can also set it to cut in like boost/fuel cut. So you never go over.

Yeah I love the handcontroller for all the info.
i want this ecu if it works a treat,ive only ever heard of them,never seen one before

I Used and Partially tuned or tinkered with one to get better fuel economy on my old car Was the bomb. Eventually I took it to someone who had the Datalogit software made it so much better way more control on stuff and opens extra options. but practically most tuners have the software for that now. And Toyota AP Engineering models are extremely rare and go for lots of $$$$ so get it if ya can get it cheap.

Must be a coincidence because that seller was from Clownsville too. I'm looking a cheap ecu for my brother but I may just have to go with another emanage.
