but this then lead to me noticing how restrictive the AFM is on the rev 2. now i have an fc so not really wanting to go down the rev 3 route and need a new ecu. is there any other AFM that could be fitted thats less restictive or any way of losing it on the rev2 fc.

Dunno if it's possible.
If you are going for high power then you'll have probably gone down the standalone ecu/rev3 route by that point anyway and ditched the AFM anyway. If you fit a bigger one you still have the restriction anyway....little that it is.johndgt4 wrote:On various sites it has been proven that AFM's are not actually that restrictive until high power.
It's the way in which it works that is not that accurate/ideal.
I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it.

we are talking quite big power as in a HKS T04s turbo and complete forged engine....damn shame it isn't Rev3 FC. Perhaps worth contacting Apexi to see if there is a way of converting to MAP based sensing. This is limited to 16psi. So dont boot it more than that, in fact dont boot it at all if not mapped. What you need to do it remove the afm and using the black and brown wires going to it (5th and 7th pins) connect up a MAT sensor. This need to be placed in the intercooler piping somewhere after the intercooler and before the TB. I wouldn't bother putting in the cold start location it just heat soaks.
