Default Just received my apexi fc

Just got my apexi for andy f to fit and map, all seems fine but theres no wires with it as such. Is that ok or do I need to buy a wiring harness or anything like that to go with it?

Im sure its a daft question but hey im new to this.

Cheers

no wires needed, it should just plug into your standard ecu wiring lume

Saw the other post and left something on there. Not wanting to second guess Andy F, but is there some particular reason that you need a boost controller? Is it an early classic that you've got? I'm not sure why the Power FC standard boost control wouldn't do. I have mine controlling boost through a standard Subaru 3-port solenoid on my MY98 WRX wagon and it's fine. An additional boost controller would be overkill, unless I desperately wanted fancy things like 'scramble boost' and variable boost in different gears, that kind of stuff. As it is I can put it in 'wife/valet mode' at 0.8 bar and adjust it in 0.2 bar steps up to the full 1.4 bar if I want it. The only other boost control I use is my right foot LOL
