its a plug and play standalone ecu
with a screen you can tune it with
and it comes with a basemap for your motor so when you plug it in you can still drive around etc
i also have one for sale for 1050 used for not even 100 km lowball me

**Power**** F **ul** C**omputer
One of the early full stand alones with a hand held programmer to let you
control fuel/timing (primarily) amongst other things on your ECU.

It’s one of the few full standalones that will work with all of your factory sensors and is a direct plug-n-play. Most newer standalones require at least a MAP sensor, the Power FC can be used to tune your stock MAF sensor.

You can buy a speed-density PowerFC which only requires two sensors as
well like most others that use PnP and speed density; MAP and IAT sensors. 😉
