I'm kinda on a budget but if it will make a big difference then I'll spend the extra money. So here's the thing. I'm debating weather to get a Power FC with boost solenoid or an s-afc 2 or neo with a ecu tune from probably JWT or Enthalpy, I've heard some bad things from Enthalpy. BTW: I'm going to be using a s14 turbo and 480cc injectors and looking for 270whp.What do you think is the best bet?Thanks

if that's the only power you are looking for, an Safc will do the job

well I mean I'm heard awesome things if he does it right, but if something was messed up I hear the costumer service is horrible and that one member asked to get a tune from him for his KA-T setup which I belief ran a SR t25 and he refused to tune it saying that the turbo was to small and not worth the time. So I think I mite go with JWT and the afc.

I've only heard of bad things from JWT, most people here would recommend an Enthalpy tune.

I look at it like this if your keeping one setup the etire life of the car reflashes are great. If your do mod after mod and need to retune every so often standalone for the win.

enthalpy tunes are the best for performance (they tend to be a little lean). jwt ecu's run on the rich side and tend to be safer. but heck, with the afc2 you could change it a little either way...
