Is this a good standalone, or not. I have been searching for information about this for a while and haven't read any good write up's on it except for the one Silver Surfer did a while back. I think that was the only write up on it in here. Do other people have these on their Evo's? Are these good for daily driver looking for 400-450whp. Why aren't people going after these and choosing an AEM EMS, it seems to be a lot easier to tune with the commander then having your laptop laying around. I heard the AME isn't very good for daily driver also, is this true? Due to the adjustments having to be made all the time. Am I wrong in saying this? Any help?

Silversurfer: How has it been working? Any problems, new discoveries. How do you like it. Do you have the commander to adjust values. Also does it control boost from the stock solenoid, or does it replace it?
Thanks,

I also haven't heard much about it.. However the major drawback is that in order to program it (not the handheld programmer) correctly, you need their programming software, which is not available to the end user.. In other words, it needs to be tuned by a Apexi shop.. which is OK since most of us would do that anyway, and then refinements can be done with the handheld programmer.

 

The software I don't care so much about. Because once its programmed in you won't have to worry about it after that right? So if you find a Apexi shop to do it, it shouldn't be any problems after that concerning tuning for weather, higher octane, etc...?? What about boost control?
