Online mapping forums/communities?
With an apexi PFC coming soon and lots to learn I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent online communities/forums/information resources that would be useful to be specifically if they are related to either the PFC or scoobs?
Sure there will be quite a few people on here who do their own mapping so if there isn't a suitable place at the moment perhaps it'd make sense to set up a forum for this kind of thing?
Anyone care to comment?
Cheers
Jim

there are some very good mapping threads on www.passionford.com
I KNOW its a ford site, but mapping is mapping.

I assume that you are aware, that the PFC out of the box will probably damage your car as soon as the boost ramps up? (assuming its for an Impreza; I dont know what the craic is with other models...)

It's actually for my Legacy.
Seeing as I was driving the car (JDM RS) on its original map for quite some time with no issues (and the apexi claims to have a replica of the JDM map for the model it's aimed for) I'm less concerned than some may be about this issues although I am well aware of the potential risk yes.
I've got a knocklink and afr and will be restricting my boost a lot to begin with until I get the ignition map amended satisfactorily. Am also trying to get hold of a wideband, funds permitting....

I ran my Power FC on my 1995 WRX for some months before getting mapped obviously on low boost with no problems.

I've got the server space and bandwidth, along with a suitable domain name for it all. It will just require the installation of a suitable forum.

I'd offer to help with the forum but I have to confess that my host very kindly installed & setup the basic forum for me although I've modified it since then.

I have to admit that I am genuinely surprised. I'm trying to remember who told me this now..........

As we were then..... Ive remembered who told me (an established and respected mapper), and I stand by my original remark: that an out-of-the-box PFC shouldnt be fitted to an Impreza.
