Like I said, the PFC is old school, and there are several options for the GC series besides it.
All of which are PNP.

Stock ECUs are good for mild modifications, but unless you can read assembly code, understand the logic and table locations in memory, you only have about 3/4 of the tables available to edit from opensource tuning. Ecutek and Cobb have in no doubt found more of the tables to edit. Add to this the relatively slow logging rate and not being able to tune in real time, it becomes a very time consuming task.

If going aftermarket I think the Vipec is the way to go if you want a lot of good features for the money. I have only been reading through the manual for the Vipec, but from what I've seen the closed loop fueling is really good, you can set up delays against RPM to account for the time the exhaust gas reaches the sensor.

The closed loop boost control looks pretty cool also, you can stage it so you run 100% WGDC up to say 80% of your target, then you switch to PD control until you get to say 95% of your target and then from there use PI control. I have been trying to replicate something like this in the stock ECU, but I don't have the PD stage, just PI and it means I have to set the turbo dynamics a bit more conservatively to prevent spiking on gear changes.

It's just a pity the man behind Vipec Ray Hall has retired. But it looks like he has set up a good team to take his place.

Ray Hall retired? ahahahhaah

Just ordered and received a Vi-pec ecu from him yesterday. :P

Out of curiosity, where did you get this information from? Let me guess you googled and went to boostcrusing.com.

LOL!!!

OK he is semi-retired. I got this information from the Vipec forum here.

Industry getting a bit lonely with a lot of good guys leaving the last few years and least we need now is for Ray to leave entirely.

Yes and no - very closely related, but not identical.
