Exactly!! It sounds to me like you have more problems than just "running a little on the rich side". I would check all your vaccum lines, double check your system for leaks etc. Especially before just blindly throwing money at the problem hoping for a solution.

And in the long run standalone IS your best option. Spending the extra $300-$500 is WELL worth the cost of all the time you'll spend on a dyno just trying to lock in the SAFC. And you get the ability to modify and upgrade your setup. The SAFC is very limited... only 550cc injectors. If you ever plan to make decent horsepower you should throw this idea out the window before its too late and your out $300+.

I am not looking for decent power, just a reliable daily with a little more than what i have got now. I was told by a mechanic that an afc would help with my running rich issue and rough idling, i have pressurized all vacuum lines and checked for boost leaks changed injectors, charge sparkplugs cleaned my maf, changed my maf and the same issues persist.

I was gonna say screw that and turn the boost up to 10 kbs and hope it doesn't fail. So what i am saying a afc is only 200 bucks away, and if that could just fine tune my fuel system as the intended effect and run 10 pounds safely as a latent effect, that would be good.

I am not planning to go over 250 hp, i don't race or drift nor am in need of alot more power...its just a bit...

a SAFC does not get rid of the problem you have with your motor. and plus if you want a reliable daily you might as well stay stock and dont do shiiit with your motor. leave it the way it is so no more problem presist after you fix your bogging problem. the bogging problem is boost leak when you step on it with 10lbs of boost.

the more you want power out of your motor the more problems there is. as for a daily stay stock.

You see that thing mounted on the plate? It comes on S13 SR20DET equipped cars. Allows for 11.5psi.
Stop worrying and turn the damn boost up.

my car doesn't have that, correct me if I am wrong, only if you have a front clip or an actual silvia that you will get the piece on the plate. Is it a
solnoid ?
