If u do not have an APEXi VAFC or SAFC, you might as well go ahead get a Hondata. If you have an AFC, do the AFC "hack". I'll show you how to set-it up. Hondata requires a minimum of 440cc's. It comes in many program, choose what you want: www.hondata.com. But if you have the money, I say get the AEM EMS. It is expensive but should be worth the money. Another option is the GReddy E-manage, Accel DFi, Motec, etc.... Go see the peeps at Millineum. They'll guide you to want you want. Be ready to drop some cash on any management system...except the FMU way out......

It look like I would rather just go with the vafc becuz i heard its quality, only cuz they are so much cheaper than that 2100 dollar stuff, with 2100 dollars, i could have the vafc, plus my whole turbo kit done and everything, so i think that looks best...would it be possible to not have a air fuel controller and still run the dsm 450's, I do have a fpr....

Maybe if you turn your fp WAY down you'd be able to compensate for the larger injectors. I'd say it's a slim chance of that working. You should just get a vafc anyway if you plan on tuning it semi decent.

I am running the AFC Hack for six months. car ran really good on 10-11 psi. Then motor went bye -bye( other issues ,not Hack) The only problem with the Hack is the it tends to advance the ignition timimg in the higher rpm's. But you compensate for that with the fuel the 450 's provide. Just retard the igtniton a few degrees . i also advise a upgraded fuel pump.
