Hey girls & guys,

So I had a 2001 is300, single gt35r, aem standalone, gte bottom end, etc etc making around 405rwhp that I traded for a 2004 subaru sti but I missed the jz power so of course I had to come back to the lexus/toyota world #lexusgirl

Power FC and Command
Manuel boost controller.

Graphite Grey Pearl!
Amuse Style lip(not in pictures)

But he has a Power FC. Is there something significant about what the AEM EMS can do that the Power FC cant? Full stand alone.

OP, loved having the commander when i had mine. Bigger turbo!

Nice! If I ever parted with 2JZ, I know I'd want another one.

she, and yes, lots... Power FC is a good option, but it definitely has its limitations... (or so I hear, I've known quite a few to switch from PFC to AEM)
