Yes, lots of us do use the Power FC, very nice ECU that, worth the price IMO.

AFAIK HKS cannot be tuned unless you have the HKS dealer controller to manipulate maps, limits your options.
Apexi much better in this regard, and probably more common in SA than HKS.
S13 CA18DET, NIStune and...oh wait no that's gone.....

Hey Andre_sx when you say depending on your needs what do you mean? is Neo a standalone engine management like the FC commander?

When I install an apexi power fc in my s14 can I remove the restrictive airflow meter or does it have to stay?

It depend on what version Apexi your using :
L-jetro: Using airflow meter.
D-jetro: Using Manifold pressure sensor.
