exactly mine is fine cold starts sits at 1200rpm warms up and drops down to 880rpm everytime no problem. drives like normal starts fine works fine with my VCT and i dont have to worry about upgrading afm as it does not use one. do you really think all the vl guys and a hell of alot of drag cars use them because they are no good. yes they may not be as good as a PFC and has no where near the amount of features the PFC has but im happy it does the job fine and i got it pretty cheap off a mate who took it off his VLT before he sold it and bought a skyline. maybe one day ill remove it and get something better but until then im happy with it and lets drop the hatred towards the microtechs.
