Where to get my apexi Safc tuned?
I'm just going to repost this from another board because of similar questions. So please excuse me if it is slightly off topic. I just want to make sure you know that the SAFC doesn't really sit well with the stock ECU.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Not to mention the price of the SAFC plus the time spent wiring it in, soldering all the connections, mounting it correctly so it doesn't look like ***. $700 will get you a complete tune for your car, eTune updates, and data logging and diagnostic or $400 gets you a basic flash. In a few weeks $900 will get you a completely tunable system with data logging and diagnostic features.

$370 for something that tries to trick the ECU with adjustments to the MAF, yeah it has displays but it's not actually changing the tune of the car, just changing how the ECU sees a sensor.
It was a good choice on older cars that didn't have ECUs that adjusted themselves and when stand alone and piggy back systems were well over $1500 + tuning, and all you needed was a little more fuel. it really doesn't apply to current generation cars nor does it stand up well to current tuning solutions.
We're not even the only company making a tuning solution that would work far better than the SAFC for a price that makes the SAFC just flat not worth it.
