Default vafc questions

Hey guys, I did a bit of searching but couldn't quite find the answers I was looking for..

As far as the VAFC goes all you do is plug it into the ECU and you can tune it directly from the device?

Is it that simple? I know absolutely NOTHING about tuning or ECU's.. I was wondering if someone could please take the time to explain to me what I would need to do to get one of these installed, what kind of problems/issues are known with them, where to buy, and if there is.

Any possibility I may have missed a step by step on how to install, set them up.


Your time is appreciated, thanks for looking.

1. Install can be easy or complicating. Depends.
1a. You can get the frog harness, then you can just plug it in.
1b. If you don't buy the frog harness, you'll have to cut your wires and connect the vafc that way.

2. You tune on the vafc itself.
2a. I suggest you not touch it at all! Since you don't seem to be in the know how for me to suggest you do it on your own till you get it to a dyno.
2b. Take it to a tuner and have them put it on the dyno and tune it properly for you

3. Only issue is that our ECU's are smart and will overwrite/run the edits made through the vafc. So after awhile it'll revert back to "stock" even with the edits in the vafc

If you tune it yourself and/or you screw up on the setup. It could do some damage.
