    Anybody know the difference between this and the AEM FIC???

    It looks like this car is going to start having some potential!!
    I'd rather drive a slow car fast, rather than a fast car slow.....

    Think about it!

    Gen Coupe, here I come!

    I own one , love it , cmd is pnp but no control over timing at this point, buy summer they will have control over timing.
    As for your sig, I'd rather drive a fast car fast and call it a day

    We had the Power Commander on Jarrod's car. It does work, did limit the fuel cut, did give us some control over the injectors. It is a piggy back and I'm not a big fan of piggy backs. The GC injectors are so small Jarrod's car was out of fuel with just our Staged Upgrades on it at about 21 psi peak boost. Not having control over the timing made the car detonate.

    I'm hoping for a way to access the stock ECU eventually, it needs that or a standalone.

    my car had the same problem with detonation at about 20 psi and thats with the upgraded intercooler.Im sure with the stock intercooler and stock boost this car would still pull timing on a hot day.I think standalone is the only way to go with this car in the long run.I looked at mode racing who had all the boltons and access to the ecu and only made 250 and 290 on race gas.To me that shows the ecu has alot of limitations.

    David ,Did you upgrade the injectors after you were out of fuel.If you did what was the outcome.

    I'm guessing this cmd is what I need to b able to get the car to quit throwing into limp mode when spiking over 17psi.....tps seems to b a more noticeable problem too since I put my boost controller on...when I first put it on and made a pull the car spiked right over 20psi (oops) then immediately cut out throttle and threw a code and wouldn't make boost until I d/c the batt. I turned it down, made another run, it held 15psi well but I wasn't sure how safe that was so I set it at 12psi. I still get a code every once in awhile and the Turbo wont make over 5psi until I d/c the batt. I also think Its strange how I can press the pedal down about 20% and get barely over vacuum then if I press it slightly more it goes balls deep to 12psi and holds it there......I'm sorta new to forced induction engines but from what I've learned and seen I assume a good reflash or piggyback will help????
