Default APEXi VAFC2 in EP3....

would there be any point in installing an APEXi VAFC2 in an EP3 even tho there is no "real" VTEC engagement point besides just for the bling of having it? what difference would it make if any performance wise? any info would help.

Unless you're doing a head or complete A2 engine swap, this mod is totally useless. And even if you are doing one of the above A2 swaps, chances are you'll want K-Pro at some point, too.... which totally negates having to get a VAFC2 in the first place!

It's a great engine for mild (i.e. stock internal) boost, though.
