Default so you either need a 5-bar FPR with the stock injectors (basic program)

or if you get a 3-bar FPR, 310cc injectors, and FMIC you can run the PC-16, which is noticeably faster.

Default Maybe, I'd imagine the standard file has a better A/F ratio across the range...

PC-16 seems to be rich down low and lean up high.

Default Quick Question: If everyone reccomends a 3bar FPR with the PC-16, why does the AWE kit come with a 5

I did some searching and did find that there were little to no gains by using above 3 bars. So is the 5 bar FPR just a safety measure to make sure the engine is not starved?

Thanks.

Also, can you get the PC-16 software without getting the AWE kit nor going through an independent seller?

Default 3bar WITH larger injectors.

<b>larger injectors</b> cost more money and would add to the kit expense.

Default

when you upgrade to the pc-16 kit it comes with an "injector set" according to AWE's site

Default Scratch this question. the 5bar is sold with the kit because it does not come with the injector set.

so when you upgrade to the PC-16 it gives you the different injectors, but you still have a 5bar... Would this cause a rich condition?

Default Have k04, like it... pro's quick easy setup, great software, easy daily driver...

I put almost all supporting mods in.
Exhaust, downpipe, modified cat, ATP manifold, ceramic coatings on manifold, turbo housing, cat, and downpipe. Used ModifiedA4's TT 180 injector setup with 3 bar FPR, 110 BPV, stock air filter, milltek exhaust with resonator, MTM stage 3 software, MTM Bosch spark plugs, and I do not have a FMIC.
Cons: Full setup is still costly, a lot of torque down low even with the DP and manifold the torque was only shifted about 2-300 rpm's higher. MPG's with the tip about 18-20mpg in the city, 27-29 on the highway.
