whatsup guys?
My question is: evo-8 ecu? or apexi s-afcII?
I have a 96 gst.
I found the safc for 230, but i can the evo8 for 250, plus 100 more to tune it.
what do you guys think?
Thank you in advance.

The SAFC is ok for relatively mild power levels. 230 is an outrageous price though, you should be able to pick one up for 100, there was one in the classifieds the other day.
 
safc's= cheap fail. They can only do so much and you;d be better off with the evo 8 ecu and tuning it. Sure it costs more, but it's a million times better: you can do a lot more with it and more "fine tuning", technically the ecu/tune is cheaper since you'll have to get them anyways down the road. Might as well do it now and get yourself accustomed to the tuning if you decide to do it yourself or even at a shop. You wouldn't buy a crappy turbo when you can get one that's a lot better for only $100 or a little bit more. I think you'd be a lot happier with the results from the evo 8 ecu and an actual tune.
