SAFC bad for the EVO?
Well first off I'm running a Apexi SAFC in the Eclipse Gs-T and it runs perfectly. Tuned at 22 psi and it pulls hard and runs great. Well my friend also has a Gs-t and he recently got it tuned at a shop and the tuner said that the Safc was a piece of junk and only hurt the car. So he told my friend to take it out and he did. I said that I'd buy it from him to put on my Evo and he was like your an idiot those suck blah, blah blah, I told him he was the moron and the SAFC does wonders. So i bought it off him and plan on installing it anyways.
So I just wanted to know if any of you have ever had any trouble tuning the car with the Apexi SAFC II or if it works fine. The tuner told my frined they sucks because the mess up the MAF? I don't have a problem with mine on my Gs-t so I didn't think I would have any problems with it on the EVO. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Its a simple piggyback. It does what it does and alters fuel trims and can be used to alter timing. It basically plays shadowgames with the cars ecu. But if your car starts to knock and detonate, the piggyback wont know this and retard the timing. Go stand alone or get your ecu rom flashed.

I had the SAFC NEO and loved that thing... Ive heard people complain that it throws your CEL on, but as long as its sodered youll be fine....
Maybe the guy before you had it hooked up wrong?
