[Mk2] [Turbo] My rev 2 has traction control but it has a Apexi Power FC, Will it still work

Post by SamBurton »

I just got my new rev 2 tubby, it has traction control but it also has a Apexi Power FC, as the traction control is attached to the ecu and the throttle body, is it still doing anything?? I guess that the power fc wont activate the t/c, is so i will take that silly unit off.
Thanks guys

Should still work I think. To the best of my knowledge, the ECU is exactly the same on a TRC car as a standard car and the TRC system works on intercept much like a piggy back ECU.
