Best out here is Apexi AVC-R,due per gear boost etc.But this will depend which car you have and which ECU,because New Age ECU have good boost control(1.5-1.7bar),or aftermarket ECU have good boost control too...

Hi there about the HKS F Con-S i don't know nothing,but in my opinion will be best for you,remove it and use it your Standard ECU,because OE ECU have good boost control and is very capable/mappable like open source remap(£300-£350) or EcuTek(£550 or more )
Which i know about this HKS this is piggy pack ECU,which can be tuned by HKS authorized dealers/tuners and probably will be much more expensive tune this like OE ECU.
Really consider this option,near to you is Slowboy Racing,which can explain you better why is OE ECU better than HKS F Con-S.

Unusal choice of ECU.........I ran my bug WRX at 370 BHP with TD05 18G , FMIC and a raft of other mods using the OEM Denso ECU. I did swap to 3 port to get better bost control but that's about it

Why swap, the Denso RCU is a pretty good ECU

Really mate this ECU is good for nothing.
Really consider standard OE ECU,which give what you want and have good boost control and as above 3 port boost solenoid is good investment on WRX.

Green bean....... cheap and cheerful open source from someone like duncan at racedynamix along with a 3 port would be my weapon of choice keep all the safety features of the Denso ECU along with the cold start etc and unleash all the available horses.

.............and he chooses today to revamp his website LOL
