If we had the time Nistune would have been awesome, but with time to get someone to do it the dicktator makes the most sense currently. Does the dicktator not have a knock map? (Sorry I am a noob with dicktator, I have only studied a bit of Nistune recently.)

There's always time for Nistune. What do you need done?

It will have to be a full house installation. Sister board, Wide band, Tune etc....

For now I can get the Dicktator done for 7k, installed and tuned and then I can still sell the F-con HKS for a few bucks. Which seems to make sense for now.

Would you have time if you could get Nistune for the same price?

And all the accessories, and the wiring still possibly in this week? Don't think so.

But once I get tired of the dicktator, and I know more about Nistune (learning with the green one) then I will switch for sure!! :D

No not this week.
Its not that big a deal if you're running the std ecu and your harness is still lekker.
You'll just need a daughter board and access to a consult. The turner will have the wideband.

I thought it gets wired up as a Piggyback to the standard ECU, which is much the same as the F-con I have in now? If so the standard ECU safety parameters should still be in place? Should it not?

Well the F-con is only a piggy back system, so the std ECU should still be there. I will do this next time round :D

The HKS F-CON V Pro is standalone! it just plug into the ECU that makes it look like piggy back!
