Lately i've had difficulty with police defecting my vehicle for boost controllers, safc, pod filter and bov. I'm thinking bout upgrading to a power fc as my car is really lacking since i have gone back to standard boost, no piggy-back and standard airbox.

With a power fc is there any sign of it being in your car? wiring etc... Also with the extra Power fc boost control kit does it just work like any normal ebc and can it be hidden in your vehicle so cops dont slap another canary on my car.

I want my car to look as stock as possible for cops but want it to perform better as it sucks driving atm.

they wont be able to see the powerfc unless you have the hand controller on the dash

if they remove the kick panel (unlikely) then they will see the stock ecu casing but it will have the apexi powerfc logo. the boost kit is basically the avcr solenoid and has similar functionality. they will be able to spot the avcr solenoid most likely as youll have 2 or 3 tubes running to it. if you can hide the solenoid youll be fine

The boost control kit plugs into the Power FC (which is in the standard ECU position behind the LHS kick panel), so it is invisible in the cabin (no blue screens). You can unplug the Commander as well if you want. Under the engine bay there is the solenoid, but it is not particularly obvious, stick it under the airbox (totally out of sight) if you want. Ditto the map sensor, it is black and not very obvious either. Keep the wiring harnesses looking standard and it would be pretty hard to spot anything modified.

Stick a Pipercross panel in the standard air filter box and they won't see that either.

:rofl:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
