On the Fuel Cut Defencer, went with the HKS product. It DOES assist with the FC related to factory limitations (MAP sees more than 11 PSI). It does NOT override the AFM cutoff when mixture goes lean at high boost because your injectors cannot keep up. That's a dangerous situation,a and trust me - you WANT the cut to happen at that point. One warning - the wiring diagram provided with the product really sucks - it shows you a pin-out, but does not tell you if you are looking at the plug, or the socket. I actually found the correct wiring (after attempting theirs) on the supramania forum. It's out there on the web- not hard to find. The biggest gain you will have (once breathing is maximized is controlling the mechanical wastegate with a computer controller. I went with the AEM boost guage product, and it was a snap to install, and WOW!! boosting up to 28 pounds now, and having a blast!!
