SC Model: SC300
Induction: Turbo
Fuel: 550cc Denso Injectors / Walbro
Other misc upgrades: (ie. cams, crank, etc): Too many mods
Tuning components (fuel management, timing, etc.): PHR MAP-ECU / Apexi AVC-R
Issues: Rough Cold start (Later fixed due to wiring issue)
Fixes: Wiring of the MAP-ECU is a bit complicating.
Recommendations: Get a professional installer who has delt with the MAP-ECU before hand.

A good Piggy-back ECU, and a good tuner mechanic and your set.....Better yet a Good Stand Alone ECU and good tuner mechanic...Although some say even a tuned piggyback will not stay in tune for long, as the stock ECU learns and changes over time...So for tuning perfection it may be an ongoing process for some....

SC Model: SC300
Induction: Turbo
Fuel: Walboro
Other misc upgrades: single ct26 57trim
Tuning components (fuel management, timing, etc.): Apexi SAFC 2
Issues:stock o2 with ecu relearns everything from idle to partial throttle (closed loop) soooo annoying so i cant tune anything that isnt WOT.
Fixes: get a standalone or play with the afc all day while youre driving
Recommendations: safc is ok with a wideband but go with a power FC FTW!
if anyone has had better luck with safc during closed loop please chime in!

Walbro, stock fuel system (USDM 550's and resistor box)
AEM EMS
540whp/500wtq 19psi, pump gas.
No issues whatsoever. If it's tuned correctly, AEM is the way to go.
