I don't know anything about this thing. Someone gave it to me, so this is all I have. Can anyone give me any kind of info about it, like how to hook it up? I was told I had to splice it into my pcm, but this end looks like it plugs into something.
I posted what to do in your other thread...just lop that plug off and solder the wires in the corresponding places. The first page of this sticky has all the info you need to know. If you need help feel free to PM me and I can help walk you through it.

Sporting new Nikon D40 w/18-55 & 55-200...it's a learning curve that's for sure!
i understand everything you said in your diagram. but i dont understand why you connect the gray wire coming from the AFC going to the map sensor wire. why cant i hook it up on the tps signal wire? can someone help cause im about to install afc neo on my car.
Because TPS refers to throttle positioning. So it would make sense to most people that if you're foot is on the floor you're in high boost mode. That's not the case on an internally gated turbo trying to make 20+psi out of it. We have this wonderful little thing called part throttle. Meaning that you can be at only half throttle and get 20+psi but the safc won't know that you're making that much boost because it only sees that you're at half throttle not full throttle.
When referencing map, the safc determins wether or not you're in high boost or low boost by how much boost you have lol. It still works off throttle control to an extent but it will make it's changes based on boost not throttle. Like I said, with an extremely stiff wastegate spring you could be at 1/3 throttle and getting spikes of 15+psi easily. Hell I got 24psi spikes on stock turbo at half throttle. So the throttle doesn't really control the boost all that well.

Well...on the plus side I suppose you killed two birds with one stone. Just sucks when you're the owner of those two birds! Hopefully you get everything figured out the right way and nobody has to get killed again over a fuel controller
LOL. Yea. Curious. Think it can be fixed or should I just focus on replacing it?
Well, talked to some local places and the board can not be fixed. I PMed the guy twice, he hasn't replied to the second to last or the last which had the picture in it. I have also recently sent him one more and still have yet to hear from him, granted it's the holidays, I'll give him some more time, but I don't think he's willing to work things out. He seems like a decent guy. His name is MOPAR_SRT-4 anyone know him?
heard the name before, but i don't believe i've talked to him...give it a little time you'll find out if the guy is sincere or not. I typically do not take my money out of my paypal account until the buyer has the product in hand and is satisfied with it just incase something goes sour

Wish they all performed business the same.
Curiosity: I purchased an AFC Neo, I need to know if the wiring will be the same.

Just PM me if you need any help on it mang...it's pretty simple really, just follow the how-to and you'll be set. Just remember I can't stress 2 things enough...solder all your wires and don't go by the wire color go by the pin out numbers...some cars had different color wires so you can't always rely on that. BTW Acer I see you're in fairbanks...would that be AK? I'm headed out there in march on a 7 day cruise...anything to look for while I'm there?

Yes, that would be Alaska. Depends, what part you will be visiting?

i just my safc just had a quick question how do u run the wires ?...
like how do i get the wire with the connector into the engine bay ?
I ran the wires through the firewall just up and to the left of the clutch pedal. I left the connector behind the dash. More than likely you will have to solder extensions to the end in the engine bay. I ran it between the batter and body, underneath the fuse box and put them in with the loom covering the PCM wires with enough extra so that I can unplug the PCM and pull the wires around like normal.
